· the presentation of the Richardson Medal to Julie Palais
· a special display dedicated to University of Buffalo's past excellence in ice core science with Chet Langway and the world’s largest ice core library
The symposium will also feature a lecture presented by Sebastian Copeland, the award-winning photographer, adventurer and environmental activist, and the author of 'Arctica: The Vanishing North'.
