- The Assembly also accepted The University of Manchester‘s bid to host the IAMAS Conference 2029. The IAMAS Bureau is in the process of finalizing those plans with the University. More updates to come.
- Lastly, IAMAS has officially formed a new commission: the International Commission on Tropical Meteorology (ICTM). Find more information on their website: iamas.org/ictm
ICCL at the CliC OSC 2026
The International Commission on Climate is a proud sponsor of the Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) Open Science Conference 2026.
- WHEN: 9-12 February 2026
- WHERE: Wellington, New Zealand
As a pan-cryospheric meeting, the CliC OSC will address all elements of the cryosphere and its climate connections. From modellers and observationalists to social scientists and community organizers, we welcome leading and emerging experts as well as early career researchers (ECRs) to present their work and discuss the state of cryospheric science.
ICCL and IAMAS encourage members to join us in Wellington this coming February. For those of you interested in submitting an abstract – there’s still time! Abstract submission closes 19 September 2025.
As a sponsor, ICCL has access to two complimentary registrations. Any ICCL member considering attending the CliC OSC can contact Keith Alverson (past ICCL president) at iamas.secretary@gmail.com for more information.
Hannah Christensen receives IAMAS Early Career Scientist Medal 2025

Available Now: IRS2024 Meeting Summary
The International Radiation Commission held its quadrennial International Radiation Symposium (IRS) in Hangzhou, China, from 17–21 June 2024.
A lively meeting of 276 scientists from 18 countries occurred at the Zhejiang Sanli New Century Grand Hotel. There were ten oral and two poster sessions covering a wide range of topics, from radiative transfer theory and modeling to particle radiative properties, solar UV radiation, and ground-based measurements. This summary is not an exhaustive overview but rather a broad sample of the many talks delivered at IRS.
