Save the Date! WAIS Workshop 2021
We are tentatively planning a hybrid workshop for 2021, with the in-person option occuring at the Algonkian Regional Park Woodlands Conference Center in Sterling, VA.
The conference will take place September 20-23, 2021, kicking off with an informal dinner on Monday 9/20. The formal science agenda will conclude by lunch on Thursday 9/23, with an optional Thursday afternoon workshop. The conference will be streamed synchronously online for those that cannot attend in person. Additional information about cost, sessions, registration, and abstract submission will be provided in the early summer. 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.
