Join us for the DTC Ice Sheets Stakeholder Meeting!

Published: 2025-10-03

The DTC Ice Sheets team is pleased to invite researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to the upcoming DTC-Ice Sheets (DTC-IS) Stakeholder Meeting, taking place on Wednesday, 29 October 2025, in Copenhagen, Denmark, and online.

This event marks an important milestone in co-designing the Digital Twin Component for Ice Sheets and is a key step toward ensuring the system meets the needs of the wider cryosphere and Earth-system community. The goal of the meeting is to create a shared understanding of how the Digital Twin's capabilities can best serve diverse user needs and to identify opportunities for collaboration between users and use cases.

We welcome participation from all with an interest in hydropower, sea level rise, ice shelves, climate modeling, or related areas.
