INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON SEA ICE
The International Glaciological Society will hold an International Symposium on Sea Ice in 2010. The symposium will be held in Tromsø, Norway from 31 May to 4 June 2010. This will be the third IGS symposium dedicated to sea ice research; the previous ones were held in 2000 and 2005.

THEME
Sea ice is a relatively fragile part of the Earth system, capable of undergoing changes much faster than many Earth surfaces. It is also important for the understanding of a wide range of subjects, from climate, to biodiversity, to society and culture. Given the recent completion of the IPY and the ongoing changes to sea ice in some regions, this symposium will present a timely opportunity for participants interested in all fi elds related to sea ice to meet. The suggested topics are intentionally interdisciplinary, including physical, biological, chemical, and socio-economic research on sea ice.
