IPY 2007-2008 Concept
ICSU and WMO are co-sponsoring:
An intensive burst of internationally coordinated, interdisciplinary, scientific research and observations focussed on the
Earth’s Polar regions starting in 2007
1. Current Status of Polar Regions2. Change in the Polar Regions3. Global Linkages4. New Frontiers5. Polar Regions as Vantage Points6. The Human Dimension
The Human Dimension also runs through the first five Themes.Data Management and Education, Outreach & Communication are present in all six themes
IPY Themes
IPY and Societal Benefits
IPY can bring societal benefits to the polar regions in the form of new knowledge, in enhancements to the systems observing change and in understanding of natural and human processes there
– Improving weather information, forecasting, and warnings
– Improving predictions of climate variability and change
– Reducing loss of life and property from natural and human- induced disasters
– Establishing how to mitigate or adapt to environmental factors affecting human health and well being
IPY and Societal Benefits
• Improving the sustainable management of fisheries/ agriculture
• Improving the management of resources of water and energy
• Improving the management and protection of terrestrial, coastal, and marine ecosystems
• Understanding, monitoring, and conserving biodiversity
• Providing indigenous people with the tools and capabilities to tackle these societal issues and build capacity
IPY Activities over the past year (1)
Joint Committee appointed to oversee IPY implementation – includes ex-officio members from IASC,SCAR, IOC, ICSU, WMO
International Programme Office established in UK (Nov 2004) International competition for IPY Director – David Carlson (USA)
The implementation document “A Framework for IPY 2007-2008” was published (Nov 2004). Available as a pdf on the IPY website
ICSU-WMO issue Call for Expressions of Intent aimed particularly at projects with heavy logistic needs (Nov) – Deadline 14th Jan 05
IPY Activities over the past year (2)
First Meeting of the Joint Committee and First Meeting of the Open Consultative Forum (March 2005) - CAFF, AMAP, FARO, U of Arctic, IPS, IASSA, IASC and ICARP II represented.
IPY JC assessed ~ 900 proposals and reduced these to ~60 topics by clustering proposals along disciplinary lines. Cross-cutting noted.
Assessment letters sent to primary contacts of each proposal and
potential lead projects approached for each topic.
Updated website launched (www.ipy.org) with searchable database of all the IPY proposals and the assessment summary
Some Results from the Assessment (1)• Arctic EoI’s = 483, Antarctic = 159, Bipolar = 136
• Selection of country involvement (not just leading) in EoI’s

OUTREACH AND EDUCATIONPreservation of IPY Legacy
Clusters and the IPY Themes
Mandatory IPY Activity Characteristics 1. Makes significant advances within one or more IPY themes2. Involves at least one polar region and takes place within the
IPY timeframe 3. Contributes to international collaboration 4. Presents a viable management plan and organisational
structure, including a time line when commitments (funding, logistic etc) can be expected
5. Presents a viable approach for securing funding 6. Proposes a viable plan for securing appropriate logistical support 7. Signs up to the principles and aims of IPY data management and
proposes a viable data management plan 8. Proposes a viable plan or approach for education, outreach and
communication activities 9. Shows how it will foster the next generation of polar researchers
Desirable Characteristics of IPY Activities
1. Includes nations not traditionally involved in polar research (at present only 3 non-polar countries in IPY)
2. Provides the opportunity for a legacy of infrastructure (observation sites, facilities, systems)
3. Builds on existing plans, programmes or initiatives or at least does not conflict with them
4. Has interdisciplinary elements5. Is “endorsed” by one or more IPY National Committee
or International Organisation (ensures involvement of National Committees who link to funding agencies)

Next Steps 1• Further information on logistics requirements
passed to FARO/COMNAP (April 2005)• Ad hoc Task Groups being formed to progress
Data and EOC issues (April 2005). These will hand over to Data and EOC Sub-Committees formed summer 2005
• Funding of projects is at national level but the JC aim to address international funding opportunities
Next Steps 2• Full proposals (6-7 pages) requested – by June 30, 2005
• JC identifies initial set of “core” IPY projects – Aug 2005
• Further opportunities for inclusion of IPY projects through into 2006. A second Call for September 30 and a third Call in January 2006
• Ongoing promotion of IPY at international meetings, development of promotional material and the website
