Workshops 2003 - 2004:

December 6-8, 2004
Workshop on Recent High Latitude Climate Change
Siberia, Alaska/northern Canada and the Antarctic Peninsula have warmed more than any other regions on Earth over the last 50 years. Parts of Greenland have also experienced significant warming over recent years. The reasons for the observed temperature increases are not fully understood, but involve cyospheric feedbacks, coupled with changes in the atmospheric circulation, and possibly ocean currents.

October 7-8, 2004
Workshop on Hydrological Modeling of Freshwater Discharge from the Alaskan Arctic Coast
This workshop will bring together the leading experts to discuss the present status and future direction of high resolution, basin-scale and regional hydrological modeling. The workshop will focus on precedents in data processing, hydrological modeling, and field observations, including needs, scientific and economic issues, and possible solutions in this region. The workshop will be designed to include interdisciplinary research such as hydrology, meteorology/climate, and oceanography. The workshop will produce recommendations on the hydrological modeling approaches based on the current research in the polar and subpolar regions. More information is available at the website below.
