Tenth International Conference on Permafrost (TICOP)

Tenth International Conference on Permafrost (TICOP)

25 - 29 June 2012, Tyumen, Russia

The International Permafrost Association (IPA) and the Tyumen Oil and Gas University are excited to present the First Circular on the conference to be held in Russia for the first time since 1973. The International Conference on Permafrost, held every four years, is the premier venue for all research related to permafrost. The circular outlines the themes proposed for the sessions, the abstract policy, the registration, and the excursions planned around the conference. In addition, the IPA invites you to register your interest in the conference and to provide feedback on the associated activities at the address below. The organisers would greatly appreciate receiving your opinion.

The conference will focus on arctic, antarctic and alpine permafrost research. The theme of the conference is "Resources and Risks in permafrost regions in a changing world" and refers to both the impacts of a changing world on permafrost and the impact of permafrost on a changing world. It also uses the world "resource", which, in the host university tradition, relates to permafrost as both an industrial and environmental resource. The conference will also host official IPA Executive Committee and Council meetings. Stipends will be available for young scientists.
