***Update***
In the last summer, we informed you about the following International Conference o n Physics and Chemistry of Ice (PCI-2022).
However, because now Omicron variant is spreading over the world at an e xplosive 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 postponeme nt" of the conference.
New date
of the conference is as follows.
Date: From September 4, 2022, to Sept
ember 8, 2023
Venue: Hokkaido University, Japan (also planning to acce
pt online participation)
We are
planning to start the registration and abstract submission from January 20
23.
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.

tember 5, 2022 to September 10, 2022
Venue: H
okkaido University, Japan (also planning to accept online participation)
Scientific topics:
This conference will cover a w
ide 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 comput
ational work.
We expect to have interdis
ciplinary discussions of ice. Session topics include:
&nb
sp; Surfaces and interfaces of ice
Mec
hanical, dielectric, and optical properties of ice
Ice phases, amorphous ice, and glass transition
&n
bsp; Ice and life
Reactions on/in ice<
br /> Ice and snow in the cryosphere
&
nbsp; Ice in space
Clathrate hyd
rates
Others
We will start to <
strong>accept abstract submissions from early 2022.
We are l
ooking forward to seeing you in Sapporo in the next summer.
