Ice streams and outlet glaciers are important components of an ice sheet’s mass balance and their behaviour directly impacts on sea level. These corridors of fast-flowing ice have been described as the ‘arteries’ of an ice sheet and their distinction is largely semantic, with ice streams bordered by slower-moving ice and outlet glaciers bordered by […]
Applications open until March 6th 2025.

Geomorphology for society: challenges and opportunities. 16-18 September, 2025, Timisoara, Romania
The ICAT PhD school (2 ECTS) is aimed at PhD students and junior postdocs who conduct ice core analysis or are users of ice core data (glaciologists, oceanographers, climate modelers, earth scientists). ICAT aims to educate a new generation of ice core researchers and foster a collaborative environment for future glaciological projects. This course will […]
The goal of the IAL-IPA joint meetings is to celebrate research on lakes, from multiple perspectives, with a focus on the sediment record as both Earth System Archives and social and cultural memories of Human societies. This conference aims to bridge the gap across a broad range of disciplines that work within the overarching theme […]

The GEOTRACES Summer School 2025 will take place from 17 to 21 November 2025 in Cape Town, South Africa. It will provide training in marine biogeochemistry of trace elements and their isotopes for 36 students. Applications are open to Master, PhD and postdoctoral researchers. The training will include a combination of lectures, practicals, and field work, all led by 15 international GEOTRACES experts.
Learn from world-leading experts and gain practical experience in luminescence dating. Led by experts Professor Helen Roberts and Professor Geoff Duller, this course will be based in the Aberystwyth Luminescence Research Laboratory (ALRL) which has been at the forefront of research into luminescence dating for 30 years and is one of the best equipped facilities […]
Connections. They link us together. Make us stronger. Help us grow. Give us hope. Move us forward. The Earth and space science community is all about connection. A vibrant hive of research, discovery, action, and solution. Connections twist and move. They pivot unpredictably. They can challenge us, surprise us, and sometimes delight us. From the […]

We hereby invite you to propose scientific sessions for the program of the 37th Nordic Geological Winter Meeting (NGWM), to be held in Turku, Finland, 13-15 January 2026. The NGWM community includes researchers from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden working on a broad range of disciplines in the geosciences and we aim to compile a program reflecting this […]
We look forward to welcoming you to Christchurch New Zealand for the International Conference on Geomorphology in 2026. Tectonically-active, in the 'Roaring 40s' and geologically-young, Aotearoa New Zealand offers world-class geomorphology with some of the world’s fastest rates of uplift and erosion.
ISMIP7 is the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for CMIP7 (pronounced `IZ-mip`) Melt of Earth's ice sheets is already contributing to flooding experienced by coastal communities, globally. ISMIP7 uses computer simulations of ice sheet change (i.e., ice sheet modeling) to project future contributions to flooding by modeling how the ice sheets will lose or gain ice under the different […]
