Previous Arctic Workshops have included presentations on arctic and antarctic climate, archeology, environmental geochemistry, geomorphology, hydrology, glaciology, soils, ecology, oceanography, Quaternary history, and more.

LODGING
Organizers have arranged a block of reservations at the Winter Park Mountain Lodge.

RESEARCH THEMES
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. However, organizers can accommodate specific themes and arrange small group meetings. Please identify any special topics or needs by e-mailing ArcticWS@colorado.edu.

SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS
Student participation is a vital component of this workshop. A limited number of students giving a talk or poster will receive financial assistance, including registration and hotel support.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
