The 12th International Conference on Permafrost (ICOP2024) will be held in Whitehorse, Yukon from June 16 to June 20, 2024. Whitehorse is the capital of the Yukon and is situated on the banks of the historic Yukon River in the Traditional Territory of the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council and the Kwanlin Dün First Nation.
The Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS) is a proud partner of ICOP2024. The conference theme, “Permafrost Thaw, Change and Adaptation: Integrating Perspectives”, will address recent developments and stimulate technical and scientific discussions among academics, professionals, contractors, manufacturers, policy makers and students. The conference will feature general and parallel sessions, keynote lectures, specific presentations, workshops, PYRN meetings, short courses, and field trips. Additionally, multi-day pre- and post-conference excursions are being planned along the Alaska Highway, the Dempster Highway, the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway, and in the Takhini, Dawson, and Whitehorse areas.
The ICOP2024 organizing committees are working towards a hybrid conference model with virtual access to selected elements of the conference. The main objective is to bring together leading researchers, scientists, and engineers from around the world to discuss the latest developments and advancements in permafrost. Attendees may still be able to submit extended abstracts. For more information about ICOP2024 or to submit an extended abstract by November 30, 2023, please visit www.icop2024.org. You can also follow the conference on social media platforms such as X, Facebook, and LinkedIn. We look forward to seeing you in the Yukon in June 2024.
