[Karen Heywood]

IAMAS, IAPSO and IACS invite the international atmospheric,  
oceanographic and cryospheric research community to MOCA-09, their  
Joint Assembly, to be held in July 2009 in Montréal, Québec, Canada.  
See :http://www.moca-09.org


We hope that you will participate in our session J03, International  
Polar Year - Early Results

This symposium provides the first opportunity after the official end  
of the observing period of the International Polar Year 2007-2009 to  
report new results from IPY projects. The session will particularly  
highlight interdisciplinary results addressing the IPY themes of  
assessing the present environmental status of the polar regions;  
quantifying and understanding environmental changes in polar regions;  
and better understanding the links between the polar regions and the  
rest of the globe. Contributions on advances towards implementation  
of sustainable observing systems of the earth system in polar regions  
are also welcome.
We are very pleased that the following invited speakers have  
confirmed that they will give talks:
