Geography of polarregions
Concept ; Désert ; Désert polaire ; Géographie des régions polaires ; Terminologie ; Zone froide
The term Polar desert is being discussed. An examination of the basic factors like climate, vegetation, weathering and erosial processes shows a distinct aridity in different parts of the polar zones. In the field of human geography there are also
some important features, typical of deserts, as for instance specific distribution of population, socioeconomic structures and economic revenues. Summing up, the polar zones are not deserts in the whole but within these zones there exist local deserts

Research projects of the International Polar Years
International Polar Years have been focal points for research activities among geoscientists. Over the past 120 years they have contributed to a better understanding and public awareness about the role the polarregions play in the earth's climate
) focused on Antarctica and the investigation of the high atmosphere. The forthcoming 4th IPY (2007-2008) will deal with both polarregions and, for the first time, includes the participation of the indigenous people. - (IfL)
. The 1st International Polar Year took place in 1882-1883 and was devoted to circum-Arctic meteorological and magnetic measurements. They were repeated during the 2nd IPY (1932-1933) in a much denser network. The International Geophysical Year (1957-1958

This paper synthesizes the regional results and thereby characterizes the thermal state of permafrost for the polarregions of the Northern Hemisphere at the end of the Fourth International Polar Year (IPY) : North America, Nordic region and Russia
. A comparison is also made between the current state and previous ground thermal conditions in order to characterize longer-term changes. Improved knowledge about the permafrost thermal state is important for multidisciplinary polar research. Increased

The article describes the course and scientific programme of Poland’s first polar expedition, whose goal was Bear Island. In the years 1932/1933, a 13-month period coinciding with the Second International Polar Year saw meteorological and magnetic
Field studies by the A. in Svalbard, Greenland and northern Canada and earlier publications show that all phenomena of characteristic and forms can widely be observed in polarregions. It is not an accidental convergence of forms, but the evidence
