Editor(s): E. Wolff, M. R. van den Broeke, B. Stenni, E. Brook, K. Goto-Azuma, S. Hou, T. van Ommen, C. Ritz, and C. Barbante Special issue jointly organized between Climate of the Past and The Cryosphere

International Partnerships in Ice Core Sciences (IPICS) consists of ice core scientists, engineers, and drillers from the leading laboratories and national operators carrying out ice core science. This volume consists of work based on some of the papers presented at its second open science meeting held in Hobart (Tasmania, Australia) in March 2016. They cover a range of topics related to all aspects of ice core science, including recent drilling projects. Papers that help to define site characteristics, as well as those that link ice core work to other aspects of palaeoclimate, are included.
