The conference comprises 3 days and welcomes presentations (oral and posters) on all aspects of ice shelf research and ice-ocean interaction, in both hemispheres , including, but not limited to:
- Formation, flow and disintegration of ice shelves;
- Response of ice shelves and tidewater glaciers to past, present and future climate variability;
- Surface and basal mass balance of ice shelves;
- Ice-ocean interaction at the calving front of ice shelves and tidewater glaciers;
- Mass transport across the grounding line;
- Ocean circulation and water mass transformation beneath ice shelves and within pro-glacial fjords;
- Impact of ice shelves on the global ocean;
- Processes controlling the delivery of ocean heat to glaciated coastlines;
- Climate records from on or near current or former ice shelves;
- Iceberg calving, drift, melting, and decay.
