Listing of current IGS correspondents 

The main role of the national correspondents is defined as

  • encouraging and keeping track of IGS membership
  • promoting the publication of papers in the Journal of Glaciology and the Annals of Glaciology
  • promoting attendance at IGS symposia.

These activities should be accompanied by submission to the IGS Secretary General of brief news items on glaciological activities or projects developed in their country, for dissemination though ICE and/or the IGS website news or social media.

We are hoping to have a steady flow of shortish news items of relevance or special interest on glaciological activities or projects and hopefully some correspondents will club together to produce rather more substantial reports on current international collaborations.
