50^th Arctic Conference

The first Alaska Science Conference was held at a time when Alaska was still a territory with a population of only 127000. Conference organizers were interested in stimulating wider interest in research relating to (относящийся к) the Alaskan area, arctic biology, studying the way (способ) animals and plants dealt with (справляться с) the great changes in north temperature systems.

Today, the importance of Alaskan and arctic research is widely recognized. “Alaska has the potential of becoming a world-class science center”, said George Rogers, professor of the University of Alaska Anchorage. “Today, Alaska remains a source for sea-food and a booming tourist market”.

Many conference sessions looked at publications about Alaska, including climate change, economy, and native place names. Experts on permafrost (вечная мерзлота) and its, effects on life in the North, delivered lectures on earth sciences in Alaska over the last 50years, discussed its history and the important role it will play in the future. Scientists looked at 50 years of ecosystem studies in Alaska, including its formation, booms and decreases in human population, and its ups and downs in economic prosperity. They noted the changes in permafrost, and growth of trees. Their conclusion was, “Alaska is just a place of change”.
