SUMMARY:26th International Symposium on Polar Sciences (ISPS) - cancelled
LOCATION:Incheon\, Republic of Korea
DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>The symposium is canceled as a proactive measure against the nov
 el coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in Korea.</strong></p><p>This symposium
  aims to bring polar scientists together to discuss their research findings
  and to promote international collaborative research. The organisers cordia
 lly invite you to share your knowledge and perspectives on future outlook i
 n polar research.</p><p>The title of the Symposium is '<em>Finding solution
 s to global issues: Polar science and technology</em>'. Humanity is undergo
 ing dramatic global climate changes and facing global issues such as extrem
 e weather, rising sea levels, food and water shortage. ‘IPCC Special Report
  on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate’ has also expressed conc
 ern about rapid sea level rise and the possibility of increasing frequency 
 of extreme sea level events in the near future. The polar region is the pla
 ce that holds the oldest climate records and shows the environmental change
 s earlier and clearer than any other place on earth. During the symposium, 
 we will highlight the findings in polar science and technology to understan
 d the changes we are currently experiencing in the global perspective and t
 o find the solutions to those global issues.</p><p>The following six themes
  for sessions are proposed:</p><ul><li>Polar climate and its global perspec
 tive;</li><li>Earth’s cryosphere and sea level change;</li><li>Advances in 
 understanding the sea ice variability and changes in polar oceans;</li><li>
 Research for living organism adapted to the polar environment;</li><li>Inno
 vative technologies in polar sciences;</li><li>Integrated approaches to cli
 mate change: IPCC SR1.5 and SROCC.</li></ul><p>Abstract submission is open 
 until&nbsp;<strong>7 February 2020</strong>.&nbsp; Registration opens on 7 
 February until&nbsp;<strong>24 April 2020</strong>.</p><p>For full details,
