A special high latitude session will be held at the ASLO 2005 Summer
Meeting in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, 19-24 June 2005.
Global circulation models predict that the Arctic and Antarctic regions
will experience accelerated climate change over the course of this
century. This session will focus on new insights into the structure and
functioning of marine and freshwater ecosystems in the north and south
polar regions, and their sentinel roles as early indicators of global
change. Contributions are welcome on high latitude lakes, ponds, rivers,
ice habitats and polar seas, with emphasis on microbial community
structure, biodiversity, ecosystem processes, and/or responses to
environmental forcing.
