SUMMARY:Life and Earth Sciences and Sustainable Global and Regional Development (AKTRU2019) International Symposium and Summer School
LOCATION:Altai Mountains\, Russia
DESCRIPTION:Our home planet Earth which provides us with life and protects from the mer
 ciless space becomes small and vulnerable with growing human population dem
 anding more and more resources for its growth, nutrition and ambitious indu
 strial expansion. Understanding the interconnection between limited natural
  resources and life evolution including human society is critical for susta
 inable global and regional development. The earth scientists who study clim
 ate, atmosphere, soil, and evolution of living organisms provides crucial a
 nd often alarming information critically important for urban, industrial an
 d agricultural planning. Scientific study of remote and environmentally sen
 sible regions such as high elevation mountains, deserts and swamps provide 
 unique information about Earth evolution including global impact of the hum
 an society.\nAltai Mountains (Gold Mountains in Mongolian) are located in t
 he middle of Euro-Asian continent bridging Russia, China, Mongolia and Kaza
 khstan. Due to its remote location from major urban areas and high elevatio
 n the region sustains stable climate and biodiversity since last ice age. W
 ith its unique environment Altai is a paradise for earth scientists and tou
 rists alike who value natural treasures of pristine environment. National R
 esearch Tomsk State University (TSU) has the research station Aktru establi
 shed in 1956 located in the south-eastern part of the Altai Republic close 
 to the borders to Mongolia and China. The nearest town, Gorno-Altaisk, is l
 ocated about 250 km northwest of the station. Since 2011 TSU scientists in 
 collaboration with their international colleagues hold yearly Summer school
 s in July at Aktru station on natural and human environment of Arctic and A
 lpine areas. In 2019 the Summer school will be held in conjunction with the
  international symposium organized jointly by TSU, Altai State University (
 AlSU), Gorno-Altaisk State University (GASU) and their international partne
 rs.\nThe International Symposium and Summer School (AKTRU2019) is an interd
 isciplinary forum in education and research of various subject areas of lif
 e and earth sciences including studies of soil, atmosphere, biodiversity, c
 limatology, geology, paleontology, hydrology and glaciology with specific f
 ocus on sustainable global and regional development. The AKTRU2019 will inc
 lude three days symposium held at one of the resorts at the Altai mountains
  followed by the eight days school at the AKTRU research station. The inter
 national experts are invited to present research papers at the symposium an
 d tutorial lectures at the Summer school. The young researchers and student
 s are welcome to present posters at the symposium and to join the Summer sc
 hool at the Aktru station. The Symposium topics will also cover several asp
 ects of global and regional sustainability such as renewable energy and soc
 io-economics of remote regions.\nAbstract Submission Deadline: 8 April\nFor
