APECS is an international and interdisciplinary organization for
undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, early
faculty members, and educators with interests in polar regions and the
cryosphere. By providing networking and career development
opportunities, APECS activities aim to raise the profile of polar
research, develop effective leaders in education and outreach, and
stimulate interdisciplinary and international research collaborations.
APECS builds on extensive national and disciplinary networks to develop
integrated research directions, meet career development needs, and
communicate the urgencies of polar science to a worldwide audience.

APECS encourages all students, postdocs, early career faculty, and
research associates with an interest in interdisciplinary and
international polar and cryosphere research to become involved with the
organization.
