IWIC, 11th International Workshop on Ice Caves, 2026<\/h3>

The next 11th International Workshop on Ice<\/span> Caves<\/span> (IWIC)<\/a> will be organized in Ghetar, Romania between 8-14 February 2026. IWICs are a series of workshops dedicated to the study of ice caves. For the first time, in 2026 the workshop will also feature work that addresses other, lesser-studied components of the global cryosphere, under threat by climate changes: cold-adapted biologic communities, rock glaciers, ice-cored moraines, mountain permafrost and glacierets. The event is organized by the Institute of Speleology Emil Racovi\u0163\u0103<\/span><\/span><\/span>, Faculty of Biology and Geology, Cluj Napoca, Romania (UBB),<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0University of Zagreb, Croatia, Aristotle University, Greece and the support of UIS – Union Internationale de Sp\u00e9l\u00e9ologie.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
