The Smithsonian Institution announces the release of the proceedings of
the 2007 International Polar Diving Workshop. Supported by the National
Science Foundation, Smithsonian Institution, NERC Facility for
Scientific Diving, and Diving Unlimited International, the
interdisciplinary scientific diving workshop took place at the Arctic
Marine Laboratory in Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, on 15-21 March 2007.
Twenty-eight participants from around the world discussed scientific,
physiological, and operational considerations of working under ice using
scuba in polar environments. Sixteen papers, edited discussion sessions,
and consensus recommendations are presented in the proceedings volume,
which represents an IPY contribution from the international polar
scientific diving community.
