Overview
The meeting will be held May 24-26, 2022, at the beautiful Scripps Seaside Forum at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla, California. It will also be possible to attend online.
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 of the latest science, 2) discussion of future ice core science projects in both the 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 attendees are welcome.
The meeting will begin the morning of Tuesday, May 24 and end by early afternoon Thursday, May 26, followed by the annual meeting of the US Ice Core Working Group.
To ensure you do not miss announcements, we recommend joining the Hercules Dome mailing list.
We do not anticipate COVID restrictions to require us to change the meeting to “all virtual”. If the meeting is canceled, the decision to do so will be made prior to March 21.
