Polar and Alpine Events Calendar
To Saturday 10 September 2022
***Update***
In the last summer, we informed you about the following International Conference on Physics and Chemistry of Ice (PCI-2022).
However, because now Omicron variant is spreading over the world at an explosive pace, we cannot judge whether we can hold an onsite conference on Sept. 2022. Although a purely-online conference can be one possible option, I and scientific committee members finally determined "one-year postponement" of the conference.
New date of the conference is as follows.
Date: From September 4, 2022, to September 8, 2023
Venue: Hokkaido University, Japan (also planning to accept online participation)
We are planning to start the registration and abstract submission from January 2023.
We will send the second circular to you till the end of 2022.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Sapporo in the summer of 2023.

We wish to invite you to the 15th International Conference on Physics and Chemistry of Ice (PCI-2022).
First circular: http://www.lowtem.hokudai.ac.jp/ptdice/PCI-2022/PCI2022_First_Circular.pdf
Date: From September 5, 2022 to September 10, 2022
Venue: Hokkaido University, Japan (also planning to accept online participation)
Scientific topics:
This conference will cover a wide range of topics related to physical, chemical, biological, geological, and environmental aspects of ice. The topics will range from fundamental to applied research, and will include laboratory, field, modeling, and computational work.
We expect to have interdisciplinary discussions of ice. Session topics include:
Surfaces and interfaces of ice
Mechanical, dielectric, and optical properties of ice
Ice phases, amorphous ice, and glass transition
Ice and life
Reactions on/in ice
Ice and snow in the cryosphere
Ice in space
Clathrate hydrates
Others
We will start to accept abstract submissions from early 2022.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Sapporo in the next summer.
Yours sincerely,
Gen Sazaki
Chair of PCI-2022
