Please remember that the abstract submission and travel grant application deadlines for the IUGG General Assembly in Berlin are 14 February. See below or https://www.iugg2023berlin.org/iacs/ for the full list of cryospheric symposia inviting submissions.
Registration is now open, with reduced fees for student, OECD low-middle income country and retired participants, and early bird fees until 28 April. Please remember to select IACS as your association of interest when registering.
All of the IACS symposia, joint symposia and open events will be between 12 and 16 July 2023. IACS highlights include:
- IACS keynote Union Lecture by Ricarda Winkelmann (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research).
- IUGG Gold Medal lecture by Valerie Masson-Delmotte (LSCE, France)
- IUGG Early Career Scientist Award talks by Farooq Azam, Natalya Gomez and Johan Gaume
- Graham Cogley awards for student oral and poster presentations
- IACS Open Plenary Meeting and Festa Cryospherica dinner (details to follow), Saturday 15 July
- election of new officers for the IACS Bureau for 2023-2027
- IACS working groups, standings groups, joint commissions and bodies can request rooms for splinter meetings during IUGG.
