Please be advised that the call for session proposals is now open for the International Glaciology Society (IGS) Symposium on Sea Ice to be held August 18–23, 2019 in Winnipeg. If you are interested in organizing a session, please send your session proposal to Dr. Feiyue Wang (feiyue.wang@umanitoba.ca), Chair of the Scientific Steering Committee, by September 30, 2018.

The proposal should have the following format:

To facilitate maximum participation and collaboration, we encourage session proposals to 1) involve multiple co-organizers from ideally multiple institutions/countries, and 2) show demonstrated interest from confirmed or potential attendees.
