Welcome to this last “regular” Cryosphere Capsules edition prior to the beginning of COP27 this Sunday, November 6; and running through November 18.
The Capsules actually began as a daily preview of the program for the next day’s events and livestreams from the COP25 Cryosphere Pavilion in Madrid, Spain in December 2019. For approximately the next two weeks, we’ll be reverting to those origins: sending daily Capsules, with the Pavilion program for the following day. First out, on November 6, will be a series of presentations by our Early Career Scientist volunteers on their research and what brought them to cryosphere science.
The regular Capsules will resume again on Friday, November 25. Safe travels for those of you now travelling to COP27!
