Registration is open for the 4th US Ice Core Community Meeting (IceCOMM), May 12-14, 2025 at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN, USA.

Registration: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf9ZK0uLZDEVgSh_QiuUi3nTklR6ccDus0c-hwopTQTMcLUEA/viewform 

This meeting is intended for anyone interested in ice core science or related fields, including ice-core analysis, ice and/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 and related science projects in 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. To facilitate deeper discussions and exchanges of ideas, the presentation format will be weighted toward posters this year. Part of the meeting will be devoted to future multi-institution projects, including the Hercules Dome ice core, and developing plans with a decade-plus time horizon. We encourage participation not only from those who work on ice cores, but also those with whom logistics and science goals can be shared with ice core science (e.g., sub-ice drilling). This is an important time for the community to come together.

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

The meeting will begin the morning of Monday, May 12, and end in the late afternoon of Wednesday, May 14. There will be a meeting banquet the evening of May 13. The meeting will be followed by an ICECReW post-meeting workshop for early career researchers focused on scientific writing.
