What is IACS? IACS is concerned with ice and snow on Earth and in the solar system 11-people elected Bureau, all volunteers! Five divisions Snow and Avalanches Glaciers an Ice Sheets Sea Ice, Lake and River Ice Cryosphere, Atmosphere, and Climate Planetary and other Ices of the Solar System Working and Standing Groups, e.g. Glacier and Permafrost Hazards in Mountains (GAPHAZ)
