The symposium is canceled as a proactive measure against the nov el coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in Korea.

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.

The title of the Symposium is 'Finding solution s to global issues: Polar science and technology'. 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.

The following six themes for sessions are proposed:

Abstract submission is open until 7 February 2020.  Registration opens on 7 February until 24 April 2020.
