IPY 2007-2008

There will be two-day IPY symposium titled Smithsonian at the Poles: Contributions to International Polar Year Science scheduled for May 3-4, 2007 at the
Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.

The symposium will present research findings by Smithsonian scholars and their collaborators from Artic and Antarctic research, with particular attention to changes in polar systems past, present and future, and their global impact. The symposium will carry on a tradition of polar science that began nearly 150 years ago and resulted in some of the world’s foremost collections and archives of Arctic and Antarctic materials.
