2010 Arctic Science Conference
Water: Integrating Health, Habitat, and Economy
13-15 September 2010
Anchorage, Alaska

Online abstract submission and conference registration is now open for
the 2010 Arctic Science Conference, "Water: Integrating Health, Habitat,
and Economy." The 2010 Arctic Science Conference is the annual meeting
of the AAAS Arctic Division. The meeting will be held Monday-Wednesday,
13-15 September 2010, in Anchorage, Alaska.

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? The conference will
seek a better understanding of the issues that surround water ranging
from food security to its role in health and sustaining the economy.
