What is IPY?
The 4th International Polar Year (IPY) beginning in March of 2007 is a campaign of intense, internationally coordinated research to gain new knowledge about Earth's polar regions, how those regions are changing, and how such changes are impacting the health of our biosphere. IPY is an opportunity to educate and excite the public and help train the next generation of scientists, leaders, and educators.
The UA IPY Office was established to promote UA research, education, and outreach activities and to ensure that the benefits of IPY extend to everyone in Alaska. |
