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

This meeting is intended for anyone interested in ice core science or related fields, including ice-core analysis, ice or subglacial drilling, glacier geophysics that supports or depends on ice core records, 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 in 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.

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 in the late afternoon of 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 (more details soon).

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

See you in Seattle next Spring,
