< strong>Plenary Sessions are updated:

(4 July AM)
Theme: “Deep permafrost and global influences”
Speaker: Dr. Anna Liljedahl ( University of Alaska Fairbanks)
-Dr. Liljedahl combines field measurem ents, numerical modeling and remote sensing to explore the storage and flow of water within the Arctic and subarctic landscapes. Her research often fo llows a system perspective, linking watershed-scale hydrology to permafrost , geomorphology, glaciers, vegetation, carbon and/or climate. Based in Fair banks, Alaska, Liljedahl collaborates with colleagues active at Canadian an d Russian sites, while she takes advantage of doing fieldwork in her own ba ckyard.

(5 July AM)
Theme: “Permafrost in human dimension”
Speaker: Dr. Arne Instanes (the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS))
-Dr. Instanes has a wide background from research and consulting within the fields of geotechnical engineering and cold regions engineering. He is an adjunct professor at the University Centre in Svalbard and Western Norway U niversity of Applied Sciences. His major fields of work relate to: permafro st engineering and frozen ground engineering, soil mechanics and geotechnic al engineering, cold regions field investigations, foundation engineering, slope stability analyses, and climate change impact assessments.

Pre- and post-conference field excursions options will be offered, dependent on the numbers of participants, to the following destinations:

Daisetsu Mountains, Japan; artificially frozen ground sites, Tokyo and Fukushima-da iichi nuclear power plant; Mongolia; Kamchatka Peninsula; Northeast China;a nd Mt Fuji, Japan.
