International Partnerships in Ice Core Sciences (IPICS)
October 11-16, 2026
The Banff Centre

Welcome to IPICS 2026 — where the ice is ancient, the ideas are fresh, and the collaborations are cooler than ever! Join us in the breathtaking mountain town of Banff, Canada, from October 11–16, 2026, as we come together to explore the past, present, and future of our planet through the lens of ice. From the frozen depths of million-year-old cores to the cutting edge of climate science, IPICS 2026 is your gateway to the latest discoveries in deep ice core research. This conference will spotlight the power of international partnerships, celebrate over 75 years of North American leadership in ice drilling, and spark bold ideas for tackling global change. Whether you’re presenting groundbreaking data, forging new collaborations, or just starting your journey into the world of ice core science — IPICS 2026 is the place to connect, contribute, and get inspired.
