The objective of this conference was to summarize the state of knowledge on the role of the polar regions in global change, and to identify gaps in our knowledge. Polar experts in a wide variety of disciplines shared their knowledge and their experiences on global change. Topics included: detection and monitoring of change; climate variability and climate forcing; ocean-sea ice-atmosphere interactions and processes; effects on biota and biological feedbacks; ice sheet, glacier and permafrost responses and feedbacks; paleoenvironmental studies; and aerosols/trace gases. Individual papers have been processed for inclusion in the appropriate data bases.
