International Glaciological Society Nordic Branch Meeting
4–6 November
University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway
We plan for a meeting with physical attendance, but it will be possible to join the presentations online.
The meeting will start with an Icebreaker reception at the Norwegian Water Resource and Energy Directorate (NVE), 4 Nov evening (18:00–22:30), followed by 2 days of conferencing at the Blindern Campus of Oslo University, Georg Sverdrups Hus (GSH), 5 and 6 Nov.
The meeting has been scheduled to allow concatenation of the Svalbard Science Conference (2–3 Nov), the Svalbard Glaciology flagship side-event (4 Nov), all happening in Oslo, thus enabling reduced travelling for those who will attend all these events.
Registration deadline has been extended until 15th of October. Please visit the the local website
