This poster, which I presented at Quark Matter 2019 in Wuhan, China, gives a preview of two upcoming papers describing my recent work on initial conditions of conserved charges in heavy-ion collisions. We present a new algorithm (which we call ICCING) which translates a 2D profile of the energy density into associated profiles of baryon number, strangeness, and electric charge. We study in detail the systematics of the initial charge distributions generated this way, and find that the strangeness distribution provides an important and distinct probe of the initial state.
