As the Northeast and the Northwest Passages become navigable, the Bering Strait will become a new choke point for international shipping. The opening of new Arctic marine transit routes presents industry and finance with significant opportunities for investment in infrastructure and commerce.

This event is part of 21st International Offshore and Polar Engineering Conference (ISOPE 2011 Maui). The conference is being organized by Technical Program Committee (TPC) of the International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE) with 27 cooperating organizations. Its objective is to

Presenters are welcome from all around the world, in all areas of life: activists, artists, and academics. Organizers invite anyone who recognizes the need for a conversation on roots, particularly on women's cultural heritage. The main themes of the conference are:
Women's wisdom; Indigenous wisdom

The objective of this course is to give an interdisciplinary introduction to environmental change in the Polar areas based upon past, present and future research being done in the Arctic during and after the IPY. The course will offer a unique field-training experience for internationally recruited

This symposium addresses present and future impacts of rapid changes in Arctic Ocean sea ice cover on a wide range of maritime operations. The forum, the fourth in a series, is a key opportunity for federal entities to discuss their response to changes in both the Arctic environment and associated

The Seventh Congress of the International Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS VII) will be held June 22-26, 2011 in Akureyri, Iceland. More information forthcoming.

Organizers announce that the 6th Antarctic Meteorological Observational, Modeling, and Forecasting Workshop will be held 22-24 June 2011 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.

Further details will be announced as they are released.

The Norwegian Research School for Climate Dynamics will organize a summer school on "Role of sea ice in the climate system" from 27 June to 9 July 2009. The Norwegian Research School in Climate Dynamics (ResClim) is a national training environment for PhD candidates in climate dynamics. The summer

The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) is pleased to announce a forthcoming Career Development Workshop in association with the General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) in Melbourne, Australia.

Specific subjects to be addressed are:

The conference will be marked by a scientific program of outstanding plenary speakers, a comprehensive program of state of the art symposia organised by each IUGG association, a compelling keynote speakers program, and the highlight of IUGG conferences, an inter-disciplinary, inter-association

PermaNET provides a state-of-the-art report about the effects of climatic changes to permafrost and related natural hazards, a SWOT analysis regarding the opportunities and limitations of the tested approaches for detection and monitoring of slope movements in permafrost areas, recommendations for

Sharing Cultures 2011 follows the path established by the previous Conference on Intangible Heritage (Sharing Cultures 2009) and aims at continuing and advancing the discussion on Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH).

Organizers welcome papers on the following topics:

- Oral traditions and

Our ambition is to bring together scientists studying the different components of Polar Earth Science to exchange information and perspectives. As we come to terms with climate change, understanding the landscape and environmental response of the Polar regions, in particular the great Antarctic Ice

POAC, the acronym for the International Conference on Port and Ocean Engineering under Arctic Conditions, addresses the unique issues related to coastal and offshore engineering in ice-covered waters. The objective of each conference is to improve knowledge of ice-related problems by having

Energy development on Tribal lands is evolving with new partnerships between Tribes, the federal government, states and the private sector in fossil fuels, renewables and transmission. This seminar will kick off with an in-depth report from the Hill on national Tribal energy policy being debated in

The 20th International Conference on Bear Research and Management will be held 17-23 July 2011 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Registration is now available. The conference is coordinated by the International Association for Bear Research and Management.

Session themes for the conference will include

We solicit papers and discussions reflecting our current understanding of the importance of permafrost and thermokarst for past, present and future high-latitude lowland environments and their impacts on global climate dynamics in the Quaternary. In

Glaciers respond sensitively to climate change. Recent (Holocene) glacier fluctuations are a valuable proxy for terrestrial interglacial paleoclimate conditions. A main challenge for interpreting paleoclimate from past mountain glacier extents is distinguishing local and regional patterns from

The UKPN, in partnership with the National Center for Earth Observation, the Earth Observation technology cluster, and ESA, are proud to present a 3 day summer school aimed at early doctoral students working in Polar or cryospheric remote sensing.

Modern remote sensing techniques have improved our
