2006 Alaska Park Science Symposium
Park Science in Central Alaska: Crossing Boundaries in a Changing
Environment
September 12-14, 2006
Murie Science and Learning Center
Denali National Park and Preserve
REMINDER : The deadline for abstract submission is almost here! Abstracts
must be submitted electronically to the following website by

New information on lodging and registration will be posted soon on the

Papers are invited for this regional symposium from scientists and
scholars working across many disciplines in the Denali, Wrangell-St.
Elias, and Yukon-Charley Rivers National Parks and Preserves, and the
adjacent land and waters of Central Alaska and Western Yukon. We invite
submissions for oral and poster presentations of research activity and
results in biological, physical, cultural, and social science pertaining
to any of these three parks and the surrounding areas. Broad studies that
have multi-park or regional focus that is relevant to these parks are also
welcome. The Park Science Symposium will provide an outstanding
opportunity to share results and collaborate with researchers working
throughout Central Alaska Park areas. Summary papers or extended abstracts
will be published in a peer-reviewed document. Awards will be presented to
the best poster presentations.
Specific information regarding the symposium, keynote speakers, panel
discussions, field trips, logistics and related events, can be found at
