The latest issue of Polar Research, the journal of the Norwegian Polar
Institute, contains peer-reviewed papers stemming from the Workshop on
Sea Ice Extent and the Global Climate System. This ACSYS/CliC workshop
took place in Toulouse, France, 15-17 April 2002. By clicking on
"Mer..." under the announcement on the Institute's home page at
http://www.npolar.no you will find out how to access the abstracts and
some PDFs of complete articles. Print copies of the issue can be
purchased for 250 NOK (goldman [at] npolar.no).
