Aims of the workshop
   
  IWIC is a workshop entirely devoted to ice cave research. We wish to offer a place to point out the state of art, to discuss ongoing research efforts and to foster international cooperation. We welcome contributions related to any aspect of ice cave research, and particularly:
  • Ice cave climatology and the relations between hypogean and epigean environments
  • Morphology and mass balances of cave ice deposits
  • Stratigraphy and internal structure of hypogean ice deposits
  • Ice sampling methods
  • Cave ice crystal fabric
  • Chemical and isotopical studies on cave ice and its fluid inclusions
  • Applications of radiometric dating methods
  • Palynology, dendrochronology and other biology-related studies applied to ice cave research.
