After the Melt: an international conference on the ecology of arctic climate change

北极自然科学项目，极地项目办公室，正在支持美国学生参加一个关于北极最近气候变化的生态反应的国际会议。会议将于2008年5月5日至7日在丹麦奥胡斯大学举行，以庆祝国际极地年。与会者将包括世界顶尖生态学家S，他们致力于研究北极气候变化的影响。来自所有北极国家的研究人员将报告个人、社区和生态系统(陆地、水生和海洋)对气候变化的反应。这是最近唯一一次只关注北极近期气候变化的生态影响的会议，这次会议将需要进行重要的科学信息交流，并帮助向公众宣传北极变化的生态反应的规模和多样性。美国学生的参与将增强美国在极地研究方面的能力。

The Arctic Natural Sciences Program, Office of Polar Programs, is supporting travel by U. S. students to an international conference on ecological responses to recent climate change in the Arctic. The conference will be held at the University of Aarhus, Denmark, May 5-7, 2008, in celebration of the International Polar Year. The conference participants will include the world?s top ecologists working on effects of Arctic climate change. Researchers from all Arctic countries will report on the responses of individuals, communities, and ecosystems (terrestrial, aquatic, and marine) to climate change. The only recent conference focusing solely on ecological effects of recent climate change in the Arctic, this gathering will be entail an important exchange of scientific information and help communicate to the public the magnitude and diversity of ecological responses to Arctic change. Participation by U. S. students will enhance U. S. capacity in polar research.
