New Generation of Polar Researchers Symposium; Colorado Springs, Colorado, 4-11 May 2008; Logistics and physical conditions of polar research today, though challenging, are considered comfortable compared with what polar researchers endured 50 years ago during the 1957-1958 International Geophysical Year (IGY). However, the intellectual terrain has grown far more demanding than that of the past. This new generation of polar researchers must not only achieve disciplinary expertise but also be ready to communicate beyond a specialist audience, conduct transformative research, participate in outreach and public communication, keep up with technological and computational developments, and support their research in an increasingly competitive funding environment, all while addressing the urgency of our changing planet.
