IPY5 Workshop Proceedings Webinar
Exploring Key Research Topics for the Fifth International Polar Year
Tuesday, March 10, 2026 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT
https://events.nationalacademies.org/46450
Planning is underway for the Fifth International Polar Year (IPY5), which will take place in 2032-2033 to advance scientific understanding of the polar regions through international coordination and national investments in research.
An interdisciplinary workshop held on May 20-21, 2025, was convened to consider research and monitoring priorities for IPY5. A proceedings publication summarizing the workshop discussions will be released prior to this webinar. Topics include potential priority science areas such as sea level rise, permafrost, and the carbon cycle; enabling capabilities such as shared data systems; and strategies for strengthening partnerships and building durable programs that serve decision-makers.
This webinar will summarize key themes from the workshop and highlight discussion topics from the new proceedings. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions following the presentation. A recording will be posted after the event.
