The Arctic Frontiers Young Scientist Forum had a full week of amazing activities. Read more about them here. Through all the activities students were able to develop new collaborations and friendship and learn important new skills. Along with these extra activities, they also presented outstanding Arctic research. The APECS worked with the ARCTOS Network to provide awards for outstanding presentations based on content, presentation, and the importance of providing a context to their research and society. Each recipient received a certificate and a copy of the IPY Polar Resource Book: Polar Science and Global Climate and Arctic Tipping Points by Carlos M. Duarte and Paul Wassmann.
