The 2010 Arctic Science Conference will be held in Anchorage, Alaska from Sept. 13th through the 15th. The conference theme is Water: Integrating Health, Habitat and Economy.

Conference Description

Increasingly rapid global change now presents Alaska with emerging challenges. Many of these lie at the interface of water and society as an ever crowded world grapples with balancing quality, supply and demand. Water is life and our approaches to its management, conservation and utilization will determine the survival and well-being of billions of people, both today and for the foreseeable future. How do we develop the North such that it is resilient and responsive? Please join us as we seek a better understanding of the issues that surround water ranging from food security to its role in health and sustaining our economy.
