Virtual Atmosphere-Cryosphere-Ocean seminar week (19-23 July 2021)
2021-07-19 | Online
The International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS), the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS), and the International Association of the Physical Sciences of the Oceans (IAPSO) are pleased to announce a week of online seminars, 19-23 July 2021. Registration (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/vaco-21-registration-tickets-146559745143)is FREE. Details of the programme can be found here (https://cryosphericsciences.org/vaco-21/), and an outline is given below.
The programme of invited speakers includes Early Career Scientist award recipients. From IACS, we are delighted to present our 2021 awardees David Bigelow and Giulia Mazzotti. The IACS Early Career Scientist award is a cash prize of €1000 awarded every two years to two early career scientists who have published the best scientific papers on a cryospheric subject as assessed by an ad-hoc evaluation committee. Information of the IACS ECS awardees of 2021 can be found in our newsletter (https://cryosphericsciences.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/2021_March_IACS_newsletter.pdf).
