Polar Data Forum IV - Call for Abstracts Deadline Extended to July 4th, 2021

In response to requests from members of the community, the Polar Data Forum IV (PDF IV) call for abstracts deadline has been extended to July 4th, 2021, 18:00 EDT.  The notification of abstract acceptance will remain July 30th, 2021.

Abstracts for oral presentations and posters will be accepted on a wide variety of data, information and knowledge related issues. Abstracts will be reviewed primarily for their relevance or connection to the polar regions and polar activities. While talks or posters on general topics will be considered, priority will be given to abstracts focused on experiences, Indigenous Knowledge research, operations, projects, programs or topics based in or are about the polar regions. Of particular interest are talks that report on how broader, regional, disciplinary or global standards, protocols and methodologies are, or could be applied, to the polar domain (e.g. how does your polar work link to broader efforts to make data FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). In keeping with past community events, we see the polar data system as part of the broader global system.
