The second annual US Ice Core Open Science Meeting will be held May 8-10, 2023, at the Center for Urban Horticulture at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA.

Abstract Submission and Early Registration Deadline are March 15.

This meeting is intended for anyone interested in ice core science or related fields, including ice core analysis, ice or subglacial drilling, glacier geophysics, paleoclimate, and contemporary climate and ice sheet change.

Goals of the meeting include 1) sharing the latest science, 2) discussing future ice core science projects in both polar regions and alpine environments, 3) providing career development opportunities, and 4) improving communication about ice core and related science both within and beyond the scientific community. We hope to attract a diverse group of participants, including those who may not have extensive experience working with ice cores. We also hope the meeting will facilitate discussion and organizing of future collaborative ice core projects.

While this meeting is primarily oriented at researchers in the US, international colleagues are welcome to attend.

The meeting will begin midday on Monday, May 8, and end late afternoon on Wednesday, May 10. The meeting will be preceded by an ICECReW pre-meeting workshop for early career researchers focused on proposal development and intentional collaboration, and followed by a short course for early-career researchers focused on Oldest Ice.

Additional details on hotel rooms and other aspects of the meeting will be publicized later in February. To ensure you do not miss announcements, we recommend joining the Hercules Dome mailing list.

Requests for travel support are being handled through the ICECReW workshop, whose deadline has passed. If you have significant financial need and could not participate in ICECReW, please contact T.J. Fudge: tjfudge@uw.edu
