The International Arctic Research Center will host a research salon to discuss international scientific collaborations from 10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, March 22, in Akasofu Building 401.

The panelists will be Tatiana Matveeva, of Lomonosov Moscow State University, and Vladimir Alexeev, Igor Polyakov and Till Baumann, all of whom are with IARC.

The presenters will discuss successes and challenges involved with international collaborations and how to build and maintain these relationships. They'll use a decade-long international program, the Nansen and Amundsen Basins Observational System, as an example. IARC is a leader in the effort, which is documenting climatic changes in Arctic Ocean basins.

The salon will start with presentations by the panelists and end with 30 minutes of collaborative discussion between the panel and the audience. Coffee and tea will be served.

The IARC Research Salon Series offers mind-opening intellectual discussions and community-building interactions moderated by an inspiring IARC member or a visiting scholar.
