Early career researcher perspective on the 10th International Conference on Arctic Margins (ICAM-X)

Abstract. The 10th International Conference on Arctic Margins (ICAM-X) in 2025 was held in Bremen, Germany, and included eight sessions, covering topics from tectonics and sedimentology to tools for digital teaching and outreach, in addition to the history and geopolitics perspective. Interesting keynotes, presentations, and posters, as well as engaging discussions and breakout sessions, made the conference a valuable learning experience for everyone. The relatively small size of the Arctic geoscience community made the conference an excellent platform for international networking opportunities. Two PhD candidates from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) were supported by the German Society of Polar Research (DGP) in attending the conference and summarize their experience in the following.
