The theme of MISA5, 'Rapid Warming in the Polar Regions and its Implication to the Pacific', is in line with the rationale of climate change in the poles also affecting the climate of the world, including countries in the Pacific Rim. Hence, it is important for us to understand these processes in order to come up with strategies to face the challenges relating to climate change now and in the future.
The programmes scheduled for the MISA5 includes oral and poster presentations on policy, heritage and legacy, biological and physical sciences. MISA5 also provides a platform for scientists from various countries to strengthen existing and to forge new collaborations. Several prominent plenary and keynote speakers will be invited to talk about the current and future directions of polar research.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is 15 January 2011.
