Description
Summary:There is a well-established tradition to prepare and print the Proceedings of the International Conferences on Permafrost (ICOP) in advance, enabling participants to take their volumes home from the meeting. As a consequence of this, papers have to be submitted, reviewed, corrected and finally edited ahead of the conference and in time for all the work to be published and delivered. In order to encourage presentation and discussion of ongoing activities and latest results, the possibility was introduced for the 8th International Conference to present posters on current research and new information. The present volume contains the extended abstracts of those posters which were personally presented at ICOP 2003 in Zurich, Switzerland, 20- 25 July 2003. Corresponding 2-page contributions had to be submitted in early spring 2003 and were subject to a simplified yeslno-review process by the organizing committee. Our thanks go to the conference sponsors, to the authors for their excellent collaboration, to Perscheng Assef and Margit Haeberli Vunder for their help with editing and formatting, to Susan Braun, Marcia Phillips, Sarah Springman and Ivan Woodhatch for their help with English smoothing, to Andi Kaab for organising the posters and to Martin Holzle for planning and final preparation of the printing.
