The 2008 Alaska Park Science Symposium will be held in conjunction with
Beringia Days 2008 International Conference from 14 October - 16 October
2008 at the Westmark Hotel and Conference Center, in Fairbanks, Alaska.
This International Polar Year event will include three days of speakers
and presentations with an evening poster session on Tuesday, 15 October
2008, and an open public cultural event on Wednesday, 16 October 2008.
The meeting organizers welcome presentations on the Natural and Cultural
Heritage of Greater Beringia. The conference will focus on parks and
protected areas (e.g., preserves, monuments, refuges) in Greater
Beringia, including Alaska, Chukotka, and the Yukon Territory from the
Lena River in Siberia to the Mackenzie River in Canada, and from the
North Pole to the Aleutian Islands. National Park Service areas in the
Alaskan Arctic include: Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, Cape
Krusenstern National Monument, Gates of the Arctic National Park and
Preserve, Kobuk Valley National Park, and Noatak National Preserve.
The 2008 Alaska Park Science Symposium will be the third in a biannual
series of scientific conferences that are place-based, focusing on parks
and protected areas in specific areas of Alaska, and drawing scientists
and scholars from many disciplines with work occurring or relevant to
these areas.
The National Park Service manages the Shared Beringian Heritage Program,
which supports a wide range of cultural exchanges, research, and
international meetings focused on the Beringia region. The Beringia Days
International Conference has been held annually since 1996 to recognize
and celebrate the contemporary and historic value of the region's shared
ecological and cultural heritage.
The deadline for submittal of abstracts is Thursday, 15 May 2008.
