The prospect of global climatic change has fueled the need to improve
our understanding of many atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial
processes. It has forced us to recognize the fact that most of these
processes are interactive and that we must understand the linkages
between them. Especially in the Arctic, many of these linkages have
feedback effects, which can greatly magnify their total impact upon the
climatic system or suppress the original input. The International Polar
Year (IPY) presents a special opportunity to combine and compare
research activities throughout the Arctic to build a better
understanding of the system processes, their interactions, and feedback
mechanisms. The 7th International Conference on Global Change:
Connection to the Arctic (GCCA-7) will highlight such IPY synthesis
efforts.
The GCCA-7 conference is organized by the Consortium for GCCA in Japan
and the International Arctic Research Center (IARC) at the University of
Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), in order to study arctic climate change, global
warming, and to predict the future changes.
Participants wishing to present a paper/poster are requested to submit a
tentative title and a short abstract along with their registration form.
