We have now finalized our coordinating team and are opening up the second and final phase of reg istration. Due to a conflict with EGU, our dates have moved: our workshop w ill take place between 30 May and 24 June 2022. There are no costs associat ed with attending the meeting. We will provide professional presentation co aching for all interested participants, and we aim to provide a low-stakes, inclusive platform to connect to the global firn community. We use a Slack workspace for all communication and workshop discussions. If you are inter ested in attending the workshop, please fill out this Google Form (https:// forms.gle/8yQpMZFKW88rcXXg8), and we will provide you with the access detai ls to the Slack workspace. Please visit the workshop website or read on below for more information. If you would like to participate in the presentation coa ching, please register before April 1, 2022; general registration will rema in open until the start of the workshop .

Understanding f irn layer processes such as accumulation and water percolation is critical for assessing, for example, mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet, the ris k of destabilization for the floating ice shelves that buttress much of Ant arctica’s ice and, on the other side of the mass balance equation, the futu re role of East Antarctica in potentially storing more ice on land. With in creasing detail and resolution of ice sheet and climate models, as well as remote sensing products, the time is right to bring together the global res earch community on firn processes to discuss the current state of our knowl edge and identify the future developments which will  serve the broader cry osphere community. To discuss this in a collaborative, collaborative and gl obal framework, we propose to bring together the firn research community in an online workshop, organized during the months of May and June 2022. The workshop is funded by the AntClimNow Scientific Research Program by the Sci entific Committee for Antarctic Research ( (https://www.scar.org/science/an tclimnow/home/)https://www.scar.org/science/antclimnow/home/). The goals of our workshop are: To provide an accessible-for-all framewo rk for presenting, sharing, and discussing new research on firn processes o n land ice, with a particular focus on early-career scientists.To discuss a nd synthesize the current state of knowledge and open questions regarding t he general theme of firn on land ice. To enhance collaboration between data -focused (observational) and modeling-focused communities, and entrain expe rtise from neighboring disciplines such as seasonal snow and ice sheet dyna mics, which are essential steps in addressing the next big challenges in un derstanding firn.The workshop will be organized throughout May-June 2022, a nd consists of three phases: Sharing phase (30 May- 10 June): presenters wi ll share their work online (via pre recorded lightning presentations). Ever yone gets a chance to explore the shared work on a cloud based video platfo rm, which will be organized into themes that are defined by the participant s. Slack will be used to communicate within the community. Topical discussi on phase (13-17 June): each theme will organize an online discussion focuse d on the shared work. Each topical discussion will be organized and led by two coordinators, one early career representative and one senior scientist. Joint session phase (21-23 June): overview talks by themes and outlook/summ ary talks, spread over two sessions:Session 1: 21 June, 13:00-15:00 UTCSess ion 2: 23 June, 19:00-21:00 UTCParticipants unable to attend live sessions will have immediate access to recordings of the sessions. The synthesis pha se (June-September) will feature the writing of the workshop outcomes in a review paper by the coordinating team. In addition, we will provide, at no cost to participants, optional presentation coaching provided by Melissa Ma rshall (https://www.presentyourscience.com/resources). The kickoff workshop for those coaching sessions will be live on 3 May, 14:00-15:00 UTC, and wi ll be recorded. Individualized coaching will occur in the second week of Ma y.

Over the last decade, substantial progress has been made o n observing and modeling firn processes on land ice, including glaciers and ice caps outside of the large ice sheets. Understanding firn layer process es such as accumulation and water percolation is critical for assessing, fo r example, mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet, the risk of destabilizat ion for the floating ice shelves that buttress much of Antarctica’s ice and , on the other side of the mass balance equation, the future role of East A ntarctica in potentially storing more ice on land. With increasing detail a nd resolution of ice sheet and climate models, as well as remote sensing pr oducts, the time is right to bring together the global research community o n firn processes to discuss the current state of our knowledge and identify the future developments which will  serve the broader cryosphere comm unity. To discuss this in a collaborative, collaborative and global framewo rk, we propose to bring together the firn research community in an online w orkshop, organized during the months of May and June 2022.

The goals of our workshop are: 
The workshop will be organized th roughout May-June 2022, and consists of three phases: 
Session 1: 21 June, 13:00-15:00 UTC
Session 2: 23 June, 19:00-21 :00 UTC
Participants unable to attend live sessions will have imm ediate access to recordings of the sessions.
 
The synthesis phase (June-September) will feature the writing of the workshop outcomes in a review paper by the coordinating team.
 
In addition, we will provide, at no cost to participants, optional pre sentation coaching provided by Melissa Marshall. The kickoff workshop for those coaching sessions will be liv e on 3 May, 14:00-15:00 UTC, and will be recorded. Individualized coaching will occur in the second week of May. More information will be provided aft er registration.
