1. INTRODUCTION  boldresearch.

We cordially invite you to join the vital and fruitful
discussion in all fields of Physics and Chemistry ofIce. PCI-2010 will be held at the Conference Hallon the campus of Hokkaido University, located in
the center of Sapporo in Hokkaido, thenorthern-most island of Japan1-3. We are proud toorganize the PCI-2010 conference at Hokkaido
University that has a long history of pioneering
work on ice research2, 4. Hokkaido University wasfounded in 1876 as Sapporo Agricultural
College-the first university in the nation thatawarded bachelor's degrees5-8.

Hokkaido University has been developing
internationally minded educators and researchers
by having them acquire expertise and makeproactive and comprehensive personal development
through general and specialized teaching as well as
graduate education.

"Boys, be ambitious!,"9 the phrase Dr. William S.
Clark, the first Vice-Principal10, 11, was quoted assaying to his students before leaving Sapporo, iswell known among Japan's youth and also serves as
Hokkaido University's moto7, 9, 12-15.

In addition, while stepping up efforts to offer
attractive educational and research programs, weare striving to become a global educational andresearch center by realizing the "strict evaluation oflearning results" and "courses respecting therequirements for credits more strictly," promoting
education in foreign languages, and building anadvanced human-resource development system thatcan compete in the international arena.

3.1. Surface observation of ice crystals  bold

Hokkaido University upholds "The Frontier Spirit,""Global Perspectives," "All-round Education" and"Practical Learning" -- concepts that have beendeveloped over its history of more than 130 years
as the basic philosophies of education and research.
Currently, all the faculty members, students andgraduates are making concerted efforts to transformtheir campus into a global base for education andHokkaido University is strengthening thefoundation of education and research by placing anincreased emphasis on graduate education. At thesame time, we are making our educational andresearch organizations more efficient by promoting
further flexibility in the organizational structure ofgraduate schools and advancing a faculty andgraduate school framework that is aimed at
conducting pioneering and interdisciplinaryAiming to take more initiative and become more
self-reliant than ever, Hokkaido University
established the "Hokkaido University Frontier
Foundation" on the occasion of the 130thanniversary of its founding in 2006, so that theuniversity would not only redouble its efforts but
also receive extensive support from enterprises,individuals and alumni.
The 2D nucleation rate J 2D (i) of multi-layered
islands, where i is the number of layers, can be
expressed as follows3,4:€

research and education.
Through such initiatives, we strive to create newresearch bases with interdisciplinary projects,
provide lectures in foreign languages, and accept
competent international students to further ourdevelopment into a university open to the world
and a global center for education and research.
Hokkaido University is developing a host of
projects intended to enhance public awareness of
this university: the utilization of the Tokyo andBeijing Offices as the bases for transmitting
information to society and promoting exchange
activities with local communities; the improvementof its websites and public relations magazines;
public relations activities, including the Open
Campus for high school students and thedissemination of information on entrance
examinations; the organization of the Extension
Lecture Programs; and the improvement of theOpen Course Ware, in which course materials are
made available to the world.
3.2. Quasi-liquid layers  boldIn addition, we plan to further enhance and utilize
bases for joint projects and research with local
communities and industries, including the Creative
Research Initiative "Sousei" and the Management
Center for Intellectual Property and Innovation, toshare the fruits of our research activities andstrengthen cooperation with society.

The Hokkaido University Frontier Foundation aims
to make the university contributable to local
communities and the international society. To thisend, the Foundation will strive to improveeducational and research bases and, among otherthings, conduct student support activities for thepurpose of developing excellent human resources.
With your generous cooperation, Hokkaido
University is committed to carrying out further
visionary university reforms in upholding one of
the university's fundamental philosophies -- thefrontier spirit.

4. SUMMARY  bold
Model barn of Hokkaido University in Sapporo, an
important Cultural Property, was built in 1877,
based on Dr. Clark's belief that successful farming
depended on spacious stables to shelter animals
from severe winters. The barn was one of ninebuildings, including a silo, bull-house, milking shed,and tool shed built in the style of 19th centuryAmerican barns. It was moved to the present site in1910, and extensive restoration was carried out in
1977-79. There is a restroom located outside thisbuilding.
