 PECS is proud to announce the 4th annual APECS International Online Confere
 nce to be live-streamed on 16 May 2018. This year’s theme, “Butterfly Effec
 t: Small Changes, Big Impact,” challenges polar scientists to communicate t
 he impacts of changes occurring in and connected to polar and alpine region
 s, including their environment, local communities, science methods, and pol
 icy and education.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Poles are dynamic
  and complex regions, vulnerable to the effects of climatic and other chang
 es, and inextricably linked to the rest of the globe. The concept of the bu
 tterfly effect was originally coined by Edward Lorenz to illustrate how a t
 ornado could be affected by minor changes, such as the flapping of butterfl
 y wings far away and several weeks earlier. This concept also has broader a
 pplications. For example, a change in the mid-latitudes can effect changes 
 at the Poles and vice-versa; minute temperature changes can significantly i
 mpact local communities or ecosystems; the development of new scientific me
 thods and technologies can generate answers to outstanding questions and op
 en new fields of research; in the wake of shifting global politics, a small
  alteration to a document can modify treaty impacts and lead to significant
  consequences; a small act in your community, such as sharing your science 
 at a local school, can inspire and mold future visions for our planet.This 
 year, APECS challenges the scientific community to make an impact by presen
 ting the large and the small of their research ideas, methods, and outcomes
 : a short presentation in our one-day virtual event can have a significant 
 impact, both on you and the audience of the 4th APECS International Online 
 Conference!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">More info available on the <
