CliC Scientific Steering Committee Member, Larry Hinzman, has been elected as a Vice-President of the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC). CliC has had a long and productive relationship with IASC and with Larry’s new position, we hope this will continue to strengthen our partnership.

At its annual meeting during the Arctic Science Summit Week 2014 in Helsinki on April 8, the IASC Council elected a new President and three Vice-Presidents. The new IASC President is Susan Barr, Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage.
