The Norwegian Hydrological Council announces the "Hydrology in the
Arctic Climate" Conference, to be held 16-18 June 2008, at the
University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway. The
hydrological system of the Arctic is highly vulnerable to climate
change. Permafrost conditions, precipitation changes and enhanced snow
and ice melt will have an impact on both biotic and abiotic systems.
During the International Polar Year (IPY) several projects are studying
these impacts. This conference will focus on different parameters of the
hydrological system, observed changes, and future research needs.

The conference organizers invite contributions to both poster
presentations and an open oral session. Poster presentations are open;
participants are encouraged to bring posters with them to the
conference. Participants wishing to give an oral presentation should
send an abstract, no longer than 250 words, by Monday, 7 April 2008, to:
nhr [at] nve.no
