Early-career researchers at the 6th European Conference on Permafrost

Abstract

The 6th European Conference on Permafrost (EUCOP), hosted by the International Permafrost Association (IPA), brought together researchers from all over the world in Puigcerdà, Spain, on 18–22 June 2023. The conference covered relevant aspects of permafrost research, from analysing and modelling the highly dynamic permafrost environment to the assessment of climatic and societal impacts. Approaches and methods were discussed during 3 intensive days of oral presentations and poster sessions, topped with local field trips across the eastern Pyrenees. For the recipients of funding by the German Society for Polar Research (DGP), EUCOP 2023 served as a platform for them to present their research to the international permafrost community, gain insights into current research trends, and establish valuable connections within the field.
