The next IUGG General Assembly will take place in Berlin in Germany 11-20 July 2023, with the cryosphere sessions all being scheduled for 12-16 July. The scientific program includes 15 IACS sessions on glaciers, ice sheets, sea ice, snow and permafrost, and more than 15 cryosphere-related symposia joint with other IUGG associations. The IACS keynote Union Lecture will be given by Ricarda Winkelmann (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research). IACS will have an open plenary meeting for its members and correspondents, and new officers will be elected for the IACS Bureau for the 4-year term 2023-2027. Here we collect information relevant for our members.
