Dear Friends, The 6th International Workshop on Ice Caves (IWIC-VI) occurred on 17-22 August in Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA. IWIC is the only conference focused on the state-of-the-art in ice cave research and is a function of the Glacier, Firn, and Ice Caves Commission of the International Union of Speleology.
IWIC-VI was the first IWIC held outside of Europe and was hosted by the National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI) of the USA. IWIC-VI was attended by people from 11 countries. They presented 20 papers and abstracts that cover ice caves and glacier caves in eight countries, three continents, and some extraterrestrial bodies. The 97-page proceedings were digitally published and are now posted on the NCKRI website for free international sharing. Go to http://nckri.org/about_nckri/nckri_publications.htm and look under the "Symposia and Special Papers tab" where you'll find it as Symposium 4. The major topics of the papers include modeling, measuring, and monitoring of ice and glacier cave processes, microclimates, and cave ice, as well as the effects of climate change. While you are at the NCKRI website, feel free to look around. You will find many other free publications that you can download. If you want a printed copy, all are designed and ready for you to print on demand. The next IWIC will be held in 2016 in Postojna, Slovenia, hosted by our friends at the Karst Research Institute. The date has not yet been set. If you want to be notified of details of that conference, contact Dr. Andrej Mihevc (mih...@zrc-sazu.si<mailto:mih...@zrc-sazu.si>) to be put on the e-mail list. Please share this message with anyone who may be interested.
