2024 WAIS Workshop

November 11–14, 2024
Hilton UF Conference Center
University of Florida
Gainesville, FL USA

The 2024 West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Workshop will be an in-person workshop at University of Florida's Hilton UF Conference Center in Gainesville, FL, with an opportunity for off-site livestreaming of the conference agenda. Registration and abstraction submission are now closed! You can view the 2024 conference booklet here. Please visit the 2024 WAIS Workshop webpage for more information.

We are excited to host the 2024 WAIS Workshop November 11–14, 2024, at our third new venue in as many years: the University of Florida's Hilton UF Conference Center. This autumn will be the first time WAIS Workshop has been hosted in the southeastern US, a region uniquely vulnerable to the impacts of marine ice-sheet change. As has been typical, the conference will kick off with an informal dinner on Monday 11/11, and the formal science agenda will conclude by lunch on Thursday 11/14. For 2024, we hope to have a set of Thursday afternoon workshops ranging in topic, likely including reproducible research, ice-sheet education, cloud computing, data archiving, and more. Registration, abstract submission, and early-career travel funding application are now open. Sponsored by the NSF and NASA, the workshop will focus on marine ice-sheet and adjacent Earth systems, with particular emphasis on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Please contact the Organizing Committee if you have any questions or concerns regarding the WAIS Workshop by emailing wais@mines.edu.
