As a legacy of the ACSYS decade, a CD-ROM containing information about Datasets, Publications and Web Links related to the Arctic and Climate will be produced. To ensure that your work is recognized as a contribution to Arctic Climate Systems Study, please help us to gather needed information by completing the simple questionnaire at: http://acsys.npolar.no/meetings/final/quest.php ACSYS is looking for information about datasets that are related to the Arctic and Climate. We want to help you to advertise your datasets so that your work is fully recognized. We are not trying to obtain the actual data from your datasets but rather the information about it so that other researchers are aware of your important contribution. Examples of typical datasets are:
A paper version of the questionnaire will also be included in the conference Registration Package, which we ask you to complete by the end of the ACSYS conference. With luck, your efforts will be rewarded with a special prize drawn on the last day of the ACSYS Final Science Conference. All those who provide information on their data sets will be entered into this draw. [Top]
