Where do leading scientists go to tackle the issue of the state of the Arctic… N Canada, Alaska, Finland, Sweden, Russia… heck no, they head to Florida! Interesting to see that scientists will be tackling the issue of the Arctic in a great event next year, however, some feel it may seem a bit odd that the event will take place in Miami, Florida – perhaps, although Miami may be a more attractive location for attendees (esp. in March) rather than heading to a northern location in Alaska, Finland, or the Yukon as some have suggested would be more appropriate.Some event details…The State of the Arctic Conference, to be held 16-19 March 2010 in Miami, Florida, will be an international meeting to present, exchange, and discuss the latest knowledge on the state of the Arctic and future directions of arctic science and policy.
