The Polar Geography and Cryosphere Specialty Groups of the Association of
American Geographers call for papers for the 2014 Annual Meeting of the AAG under the following areas: Polar Geography Sessions: Sustainable Development in the Arctic Issues pertaining to sustainable Arctic environments, cultures and
economies amid climate change and globalization Urbanization and Transportation in the Arctic Examinations of development trends in and between Arctic communities Impacts of Climate Change on Arctic Communities and the Environment Observed and anticipated impacts of a warming climate on natural and human systems in high latitude regions Northern Resource Geographies and Extractive Industries Exploring the past, present and future of resource extraction in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions and its role in local and global economies Polar Geopolitics Recent developments in the political landscape and governance of polar regions Send abstract and PIN to *stephenson@ucla.edu* * * Cryosphere Sessions: Advances in Cryosphere Research Recent developments in remote sensing and modeling methodologies for any aspect of the cryosphere High Latitude Environments in a Changing Climate Impacts of climate change on high latitude hydrologic, atmospheric, and terrestrial systems, including polar ice sheets Mountain Ice and Snow Glacier environmental change and impacts on water resources Send abstract and PIN to *venachu@ucla.edu* Other sessions will be considered if there are sufficient submissions. Graduate students and young scholars are encouraged to apply. Please contact the organizers if you have any questions. If you wish to be included in one of these sessions, please register on the AAG website http://www.aag.org/, and then submit your abstract and PIN to Scott Stephenson (*stephenson@ucla.edu*) or Vena Chu (*venachu@ucla.edu*) The deadline for submitting abstracts with a discounted registration fee is October 23, 2013. An extended deadline will be available through December 3. Poster Session: R.S. Tarr Award for Student Research The Polar Geography and Cryosphere Specialty Groups are pleased to sponsor the annual R.S. Tarr Award for student research on any aspect of cryospheric science. The R.S. Tarr award is given to the undergraduate or graduate student presenting the illustrated paper judged best in the special R.S. Tarr Illustrated Paper Session held during the 2014 Annual Meeting. The recipient of the R.S. Tarr award will receive a cash prize. The illustrated paper must be completed and presented by the student; however, the paper can be coauthored by the student's advisor. Illustrated papers will be judged on their originality and contribution to cryospheric science. This competition is in honor of Ralph Stockman Tarr who was an accomplished glacial geologist and geographer. He studied under W.M. Davis at Harvard. While teaching at Cornell he led numerous scientific expeditions to Greenland and Alaska. To participate in the R.S. Tarr session please submit your abstract for an illustrated paper through www.aag.org and send your PIN to venachu@ucla.edu.
