Organizers announce an extended deadline for the abstract submissions for the 5th International Symposium on Arctic Research (ISAR-5) entitled "The Changing Arctic and its Regional to Global Impact: From Information to Knowledge and Action." This symposium will convene 15-18 January 2018 in Tokyo, Japan.

The ISAR-5 will focus on discussions on environmental changes in the Arctic and their regional and global implications and seeking additional international scientific collaboration in this area by gathering, synthesizing, and sharing information related to these changes occurring in the Arctic. Special emphasis will be placed on the fields of the social sciences and humanities, which were not included in previous ISAR conferences.

The symposium will consist of general sessions and special sessions.

Special session topics are available on the ISAR-5 website, at:
https://jcar.org/isar-5/abstract/session_information.html

The general sessions will address the following topics:

  • Atmosphere;
  • Ocean and sea ice;
  • Rivers, lakes, permafrost, and snow cover;
  • Ice sheets, glaciers, and ice cores;
  • Terrestrial ecosystems;
  • Marine ecosystems;
  • Geospace;
  • Policies and economy; and
  • Social and cultural dimensions.

NOTE: There are some changes for registration and abstract submission, including:
