We hope to see you all in Breckenridge, CO, June 20-22, 2006. The Polar Climate Working Group meeting has two sections this year: Wednesday, June 21 1:30-3:00 pm Joint meeting of the Polar Climate and Paleoclimate working groups 3:30-5:00 pm Polar Climate Working Group meeting Our joint meeting with the Paleoclimate WG will focus on Abrupt Climate Change. Model intercomparison studies are the topic for the separate Polar Climate WG meeting (IPCC, MIPs, etc.). Given the short time we have for these sessions, we can allow only a small number of you to give talks (expect 15 minutes each), and we will choose those presentations based on the focus areas. However, we welcome all topics! Poster presenters will have an opportunity to advertise their posters during the working group meeting, and posters will hang during the entire workshop. We also plan a brief update on progress and discussions from our PCWG meeting in February. If you would like to present your work, please send a title to us by May 19. If you think it is appropriate for either of the focus topics and would like to give an oral presentation, please also send us an abstract. We expect to organize the program and let you know by May 26.
