[CRYOLIST] Inernational Atmospheric Rivers Conference

Dear colleagues:

We would like to announce a call for abstracts to the International Atmospheric Rivers Conference Sponsored Symposium (https://iarc-symposium.com), which will be held virtually during the week of 5-9 October 2020, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Note that the deadline for abstract submission is July 27th.

Depending on abstracts received, we will consider the following types of activities: keynote talks; oral sessions; poster sessions; panel discussions; breakout group discussions; and others. Information will be forthcoming on meeting format; this will likely be 3-4 days for 3-4 hours each day.
 
Acknowledging that the normal meeting costs of venue rental, refreshments, and more are not relevant here, and that as part of our overall objectives (listed below) we strive to share knowledge without barriers to access, there will be no cost for registration for this virtual event.

IARC Specific Objectives
