The Human Dimensions of the Arctic System Core Office is seeking posters and papers for presentation during a special session of the American Association for the Advancement of Science 2006 Arctic Division annual meeting.

The session will be entitled, "The Contribution of Human Dimensions Research to Observing and Understanding the Current State of the Arctic." Papers that highlight interdisciplinarity across physical, biological, and social sciences are encouraged, and especially those that consider human dimensions as a focus for assessing the current state of the Arctic and for developing a better understanding of future system changes.

The deadline for proposals is Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2006. The conference will take place in Fairbanks Oct. 2-4 at the Westmark Hotel. Get more information and submit abstracts online at http://arctic.aaas.org/
