Hear a wide range of topics from both poles
Although Quaternary history and other paleoenvironmental fields have traditionally been at the core of the Workshop, sessions have expanded over time to include a range of Arctic and Antarctic topics such as climate, permafrost, atmospheric chemistry, environmental geochemistry, archeology, geomorphology, hydrology, glaciology, soils, ecology, and oceanography.
Visit our changing locations
Workshop locations are shared amongst the polar environmental science community. Recent locations include Amherst (Massachusetts), Longyearbyen (Svalbard, Norway), Stockholm (Sweden), Boulder (Colorado), Buffalo (New York), and Bergen (Norway). In recent years, the Workshop shifted from being hosted in Boulder in alternate years to open meeting locations every two years.
