Do you like keeping up with the glaciological literature, contributing to leading a supportive editorial board, and helping authors publish their best works? The IGS is looking for two new Associate Chief Editors for the Journal of Glaciology. Deadline is 21 April 2025.
‘Diversity’ is not to blame for the world’s problems. It is part of the solution.
If you'd like to add your name below, let me know.
We write in solidarity.

Thank you for this initiative. Please do add my name.
Orientation is required on a geographical map. A North arrow is just one (limited) expression of orientation. Orientation is not required on maps such as mind maps, metro maps, indigenous maps, etc. Also, know your mapping rules so that you can effectively break them.
The meridians serve as the north arrows.

Thanks Dan!
PREFACE. A collection of historic Journal of Glaciology covers adorns the cover page of the current journal issue before you. Starting in 2024, after 77 years of print publication, the International Glaciological Society (IGS) is moving to online-only publication of both our Journal of Glaciology (JOG) and Annals of Glaciology (AOG). This JOG Volume 69 Issue 278 is the final journal issue for which a paper copy will be issued. Discontinuing print copies allows us to reduce our environmental impact, speed up time to publication in final citable form, and save cost. All JOG issues can be found online on https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-glaciology. JOG is the flagship scientific journal of the IGS and has been issued in print since 1947 as a journal on all aspects of snow and ice. The journal Nature announced, “The Journal promises to find a place among scientific periodicals of value” (Nature 159(736), 1947). Indeed, our JOG has found its place, and will continue to do so into the future. A concise history of our Journal was written by John W Glen (Glen, 2010: JOG 56(200)). Glen’s paper and reports in the IGS newsletter ICE document many transitions. Most early volumes contained papers presented at the annual meetings, where the discussion that followed was also printed. In 1980, AOG took over this function. Between 1947 and 2023, 69 volumes and 278 issues of JOG were printed plus a Special Issue Commemorating the Fiftieth Anniversary of the IGS in 1987. More than 10 000 authors have published in JOG. With JOG's final printed copy before you we thank all editors, editorial and production staff, and all authors and reviewers going back to the inception of the Journal. Each individual and collective effort has enabled the Journal to serve the glaciological community for the past 77 years. As we say goodbye to bound hard copies, we look forward to a long and bright future for the Journal. Hester Jiskoot 10th Chief Editor of the Journal of Glaciology

Out now with 48 papers and a cover depicting JOG covers since 1947. This is the final paper-copy JOG issue. From 2024 onwards we will go online-only. Read the PREFACE; abbr. in the Alt text below.

#Glaciology
Annals of Glaciology 64(92) “Ice, Snow and Water in a Warming World” is now available and contains 25 diverse papers. The issue was led by ACEs Tómas Jóhannesson and Hester Jiskoot, and supported by nine Scientific Editors. Several of the papers found in this issue were first presented at the International Symposium “Cryosphere 2022” on the same theme, in Reykjavík, Iceland. The cover image "Glacier Tunnel”, oil on linen, was painted by visual artist Klara Maisch inside an ice cave in the Eastern Alaska Range. This third and final issue of 2023 is also the end of an era: Annals of Glaciology has been issued in print since 1980, and this is the final issue for which a paper copy will be issued. From now on we will have online-only volumes, still grouped in themes as online “Collections”. Read more about this transition to online-only and this final print AOG issue in the PREFACE here: https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/239B7DB18D20590A0112D1AECB4EB5EB/S0260305524000442a.pdf/aog-volume-64-issue-92-cover-and-front-matter.pdf
