International Polar Year Conference in Oslo Draws 2300 Scientists, Educators, and Artists

Oslo drew thousands to the "biggest polar science conference ever" designed to wrap up research conducted in the Arctic and Antarctic polar regions during the 2007-2008 International Polar Year. The research effort involved scientists from 60 countries and placed emphasis on the urgency and implications of climate change at the Poles, the integration of research with education and outreach, the perspectives and traditional knowledge of Arctic indigenous peoples, and the appreciation of polar environments through a combination of arts. Pre-conferences were held for educators and early career polar scientists. The conference opened with music played on instruments made of ice and the welcoming remarks of Norway’s Crown Prince Haakon. For conference abstracts and more feature stories from the conference, see the conference website.
