What
The NSF Center for Oldest Ice Exploration (NSF COLDEX) and ICECReW are partnering to host a writing workshop and retreat on May 15 and 16, 2025, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after the US Ice Core Community Meeting (May 12-14). The theme of this year’s workshop is science writing, including making figures to communicate results, responding to peer reviews, how to structure papers, and deciding on journals and authorship. The workshop will also provide time for writing and peer review, and participants should bring materials they would like to work on (e.g., papers, dissertations, fellowship and grant applications). We will also have an evening social event on Sunday, May 11, before IceCOMM.
Who
This workshop is intended for researchers whose work contributes to polar sciences or paleoclimatology.
Application Form
The application period is now closed.
