Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Science Conference in March
January 23, 2013
The 6th Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Science Conference and Forum “Rural Science
in Action” has issued a call for papers. The event will be hosted by the UAF Northwest
Campus in Nome March 20 - 22.
Since 2008 WAISC has brought together scientists, rural Alaska leaders and community
members, educators, and students to discuss science, research and issues relevant
to western Alaska. The 2013 conference will highlight regional scientific efforts
and community-based projects, including work based in traditional knowledge and local
expertise.
Organizers welcome submissions drawn from all disciplines that use a scientific approach
to address questions and issues of concern to western Alaska communities.
