International Glaciological Society Sea Ice Symposium

The International Glaciological Society was founded in 1936 to provide a focus for individuals interested in practical and scientific aspects of snow and ice.

This year the Sea Ice Symposium focuses on “Sea ice at the interface”, held from 18 to 23 August 2019 in Winnipeg, Canada.

Presentations by Changing Arctic Ocean investigators at the Symposium
