IGS Symposia, Meetings and Workshops

TOPICS We seek papers and presentations that advance the understanding of maritime glaciers and their role in landscape and ecosystem change. Key focus areas include (but are not limited to):1. Instruments and methods for observing high-accumulation, high-melt glaciers2. Glacier hydrology and wet firn3. Glacier runoff and sediment and nutrient export4. Tidewater and lake-calving glaciers5. Glacier-ocean-sediment […]

Sea ice is an important component of the Earth’s climate system and strongly affects marine ecosystems and human activities in both hemispheres. Sea ice is changing rapidly on various temporal and spatial scales, and systematic observations and modeling across these scales is required to better understand underlying processes and interactions, and to predict the ice’s […]

The Limerick symposium will focus on edges in glaciology, which may include: beds of ice sheets or glaciers, supraglacial processes, crevasses, calving, grain boundaries (of ice and snow crystals), and perhaps philosophical edges. The edges of glaciology are most obviously those parts of the study of ice and ice masses which involve boundaries: grain boundaries, […]
