IPY Researchers: UA Expressions of Intent

University of Alaska International Polar Year Projects


Expressions of Intent
Following are Expressions of Intent (EOIs) that were submitted to the IPY International Programme Office and include UA resarchers. EOIs are pre-proposals. The IPY International Programme Office first sent out calls for pre-proposals and, only later, for full proposals. These tables were compiled in May, 2005 by the University of Alaska Office of Academic Affairs & Research.

To find out more about each project, click on the number listed. Note that these numbers do not correspond to the full proposal listings.
