Abstract book

IAC2008 International Conference precedes the XXXI Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) that will take place in Kyiv June 2nd-13th, 2008.

For over decade Ukraine has been part of the world effort to conduct scientific research and monitoring in the extreme region of the planet – Antarctica, utilizing its only polar station named after Vernadsky (former Faraday station of BAS, UK). This Conference aimed to summarize the research outcomes and challenges experienced by Ukrainian scientists and the Station administrators. We welcome participants to discuss prospects for the research programs that will continue during and after the International Polar Year 2007-2008. We expect to formulate Ukraine’s national priorities in Antarctica and define the Ukraine’s niche in the international research programs.  Antarctica is the important region for research on climate change, atmosphere-ionosphere coupling, geological and tectonic processes, so we also invite you to contribute to brainstorming of the challenges, which could be generalized as "Antarctica: key region for the study of environment change".
