Thanks! We'd like to thank the more than 100 participants from 9 countries who helped make this year's workshop a success. We also want to recognize Wendy Roth for doing much of the organization!

Dedication to John T. Andrews: The 2002 International Arctic Workshop is dedicated to John. T. Andrews, who has kept the Arctic Workshop running for 32 years and counting. The workshop has been a great benefit to the community of students and researchers working in high latitude areas. Thank you John for your hard work and dedication! For more info and pictures, see the Andrews Dedication Page.

Overview:The Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) is proud to host the 32nd Annual International Arctic Workshop. This workshop has grown out of a series of informal annual meetings sponsored by INSTAAR and other academic institutions worldwide. In keeping with this tradition, there are no formalized topics, and the workshop is organized around themes developed from the abstracts submitted for presentation and poster display. We hope to build upon the increasing breadth and success of past years for a rewarding interdisciplinary meeting on a variety of Arctic research themes.

Who should attend: The meeting is open to all interested in the Arctic and will consist of a series of talks and poster sessions covering all aspects of high-latitude environments, past and present. Previous Arctic Workshops have included presentations on arctic and Antarctic climate, archeology, environmental geochemistry, geomorphology, hydrology, glaciology, soils, ecology, oceanography, and Quaternary history.

Student participation: Student participation is a vital component of this workshop and graduate student presenters will receive support for registration, meals, and hotel charges (see Student Support page). The first meeting was organized by John Andrews at INSTAAR in 1970 to give graduate students an opportunity to present their ongoing research, obtain some experience in public speaking, and to get feedback from more senior researchers. We plan to continue this tradition of high quality research, presented and discussed in a relaxed and friendly manner. Of course, not all participants will be graduate students and there will be many well-known Arctic researchers and funding agency managers who will participate via talks, posters, and discussions.

Theme sessions? Associated meetings? Arctic Workshops have traditionally included a broad spectrum of talks and posters. However, we have also accommodated specific themes. We can also accommodate small group meetings but it helps if we have notice and a preferred time so we can book the room(s). Please identify any special topics or needs by emailing John Andrews at: andrewsj@colorado.edu.

Abstracts, presentations, and posters: Depending on the number of submissions, we reserve the option to gently nudge some proposed oral presentations to the poster session. The poster session is often the best part of the meeting, so don't consider this as a second class option. We will email anyone being nudged and will not change your talk to a poster without your consent. Authors who would like to submit abstracts for both a poster and a talk or multiple posters should contact ArcticWS@Colorado.edu to see whether space is available. All abstracts will be submitted online. We recommend visiting the Abstract Submission page in advance of your submission to learn of special instructions regarding special characters, formats for figures, etc. Talks will be 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions and transition to the next speaker. Poster size is 1 m by 1 m.
