The PAGES-supported 3rd IPICS Open Science Conference (originally scheduled for October 2020, and rescheduled for 10-15 October 2021) has confirmed new dates.

Date

2-7 October 2022

Venue

Centre de Congrès Le Régent
Route des Mélèzes 28
3963 Crans-Montana

Logistics

The Ice Core Young Scientists (ICYS) workshop will be held on 2 October. The 3rd Open Science Conference runs from 2-7 October.

Description

Ice cores provide information about past climate and environmental conditions as well as direct records of the composition of the atmosphere on timescales from decades to hundreds of millennia.

With the pioneering work of Hans Oeschger (University of Bern, Switzerland) on carbon dioxide in polar ice cores, a long tradition of ice-core research in Switzerland began.

Less known is that Hans Oeschger also initiated a high-alpine drilling project on Colle Gnifetti in Switzerland in the 1970s.

To acknowledge Hans Oeschger’s important contribution to these two ice-core fields and to foster the link between the corresponding communities the theme of the conference is "Ice Core Science at the three Poles."

ICYS workshop

Ice Core Young Scientists (ICYS) is an informal, international network of early career scientists dedicated to the study of polar and alpine ice cores and ice core-related sciences.

Following the success of the workshop held four years ago at IPICS2016, ICYS is organizing in connection with IPICS 2022 its second workshop, this time with the motto “Communicate your Science”

The day will consist of keynote speakers, panel discussions and breakout sessions over a range of topics of science communication, and most importantly give the ECRs chance to meet their peers before a busy week of science.
