Dear Friends,
The 6th International Workshop on Ice Caves (IWIC-VI) is coming to Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA, on 17-22 August 2014 and I’m pleased to announce our Call for Papers! This will be the first IWIC outside of Europe and an excellent opportunity for North American ice scientists to attend. We welcome papers on any topic involving cave ice. Major themes include:
· Cave glaciology and ice dynamics
· Cave meteorology and climatology
· Cryo-mineralogy and cryo-crystallography
· Paleoclimatology and global change
· Chemistry and geochemistry of ice caves
· Ice cave management and technology
· Glacier caves
Please note that there is no separate abstract submission procedure. We encourage submission of full manuscripts but will accept extended abstracts for publication in the conference proceedings volume. The deadline for submission of all manuscripts and extended abstracts is 14 April, 2014.
For more information on the conference, visit http://www.iwic-vi.org/index.html. Also, look for the announcement on the opening of registration for IWIC-VI, which will to start soon.
IWIC is a series of conferences devoted entirely to ice cave studies, where international experts discuss ongoing research efforts and promote global cooperation in ice cave science and management. IWIC is a conference of the Glacier, Firn, and Ice Caves Commission of the International Union of Speleology, and IWIC-VI is being hosted by the National Cave and Karst Research Institute of the USA.
On behalf of the IWIC-VI Organizing Committee, we look forward to receiving your papers and meeting you in Idaho Falls in August 2014.
Please forward or post this message to anyone who may be interested. Thank you.
George
