The symposium will bring together thirty-six advanced graduate students and recent Ph.D. graduates who are or will be conducting independent research during the 2007–2009 IPY, current polar experts, and veteran polar scientists who were actively engaged in the 1957–1958 IGY. The NGPR symposium will provide this new generation with a common sense of history and purpose, increase awareness of work conducted by their peers, share ideas for educational outreach, and forge interdisciplinary collegial relationships with their peers.

The aim of the workshop is to discuss viable approaches for development of an international community Arctic System Model. Applications are invited from researchers developing and coupling regional ocean-ice, atmospheric, terrestrial, ecosystem, glacier and social-dimension models and others who are keenly interested in contributing to development of a coupled regional arctic model. It is anticipated that the ensuing Community Arctic System Model will capitalize on developments in software to interface clusters of component models, enabling modeling groups to apply their own work and removing the limitation of selecting single ocean, atmospheric or other component models for the project.

The AMS Summer Policy Colloquium brings a select group to Washington, D.C. for an intense, ten-day immersion in atmospheric policy. The Colloquium provides an overview of policy basics, and how decisions are made governing the course and future of atmospheric science; provides opportunities for participants to meet and dialog with the federal officials, Congressional staffers, and others who make those decisions; surveys current atmospheric policy issues; uses the case study method to explore a limited number of issues, both past and present, in depth and detail; helps participants build skills, experience, and contacts they can use throughout their careers to understand and influence the atmospheric policy process; and helps participants gauge their aptitude for and interest in the challenges of matching atmospheric science to national priorities, and scientific program leadership.
