Water ice is one of the most important solid phases for understanding environmental cycles and climate change, but there are signifcant mysteries about the structure and dynamics at the surfaces of ice crystals. For example, we know that there is proton disorder in the common ice-Ih phase, but there is now significant evidence that the surfaces of ice exhibit proton ordering. Likewise, we know from experience that ice surfaces are slippery, but only recently have we seen experiments and theories start to converge on the cause of this effect. Water ice also plays an important role in the environment, and the structure and dynamics of a thin liquid layer on the surface of ice crystals are fundamental to understanding lightning and precipitation.

This workshop will be targeted at a mix of theorists, experimentalists, and environmental / atmospheric scientists working on all aspects of ice interfaces. Topics of particular interest include:
* proton and dipolar ordering at ice interfaces
* structure, dynamics, and viscosity of the Quasi-Liquid Layer (QLL) on ice
* protein / ice interactions, including anti-freeze proteins (AFP) and airborne ice nucleating species * proton gradients at ice/QLL/vapor interfaces
* fluid-phase charge transfer in clouds and the role of ice crystals in lightning
* differences in ice structure in vapor-deposited, liquid-nucleated, and rime ice
* ice-ice friction and glacier deformation & flow
