The next meeting of the New Zealand Snow and Ice Research Group is to be held at Mt Hutt Retreat near Methven from the 7th to 9th February 2018.

The location is at the foot of the Southern Alps with the mighty Rakaia River and its glacial geomorphological marvels a short field trip away.

Student participation is strongly encouraged, with registration (which includes accommodation and most meals) for students just $20. This heavily discounted fee is thanks to the strong support from NIWA, University of Canterbury, Antarctica NZ and Meridian Energy Ltd.

Please download the SIRG2018_FirstCircular, register and submit your abstract now and participate in New Zealand’s most fascinating (and possibly least formal) academic meeting!
