Recently, APECS member Yuzhe Wang attended the fourth meeting of the World Meteorological Organization's Executive Council of Experts on Polar Observations, Research, and Services (WMO's EC-PORS) in Lanzhou, China. He has submitted this very informational report, detailing current actions involving progress on the "Global Cryosphere Watch" and the "International Polar Initiative" as well as a large number of APECS partners.
EC-PORS will have upcoming meetings in New Zealand (2014) and Iceland (2015), and we'll be looking for APECS reps then! Find out more about current APECS reps, their responsibilities, and becoming one.
