Our Branches Around the World
The Society has branches in different parts of the world that provide a further opportunity for those sharing a common interest to meet and exchange information.
Council approved the new Andes Branch on 21 October 2024 which was proposed by a group of Chilean and Argentinean glaciologists, but is open to all researchers interested in Andean glaciology. This branch aims to facilitate the exchange of scientific information among glaciologists living and/or working in the region and create an active communication channel with society. For further information see the SOCHICRI home page where the IGS Andes Branch’s website will be hosted in the future.
Council approved the Indian Branch on 23 March 2024. To learn more about what is now the Indian IGS Branch, take a look at this report in the 2nd and 3rd issues 2022 ICE 189/190, pages 4-6.

In an effort to establish a ‘contact’ list for the various branches so as better to disseminate information that is specifically related to the individual Branches we have created a sign up sheet.
Although the form refers to a ‘Membership’ you are definitely NOT signing up to become an IGS member (although we would dearly like you do so, but that is another path).
Signing up does NOT cost anything and will only be used by the officers of the respective IGS Branches and the IGS to convey information that is directly relevant to the individual Branch.
Membership of a Branch does not make you eligible for a discount on Article Processing Charges (APCs) nor does in give you an IGS members rate when you sign up to attend to an IGS symposium. To be eligible for those discounts you have to become a member of the IGS itself.
