[GLIMS] FW: gaphaz (glacier hazards) workshop, 14 sept 2014, torino

[Jeffrey]

Dear GLIMS colleagues,I draw your attention to this workshop on the theme of mountain cryospheric hazards.  Due to funding constraints I will be unable to participate, but I strongly urge you to consider this meeting if your work involves any aspect of glacier and permafrost hazards in mountain areas.  Please note the abstract and registration deadline on August 1.If you have any connection to this hazards theme and this work involves GLIMS, and wish to provide an abstract, please use 'GLIMS' (or Global Land Ice Measurements from Space) as a keyword anywhere in your abstract, if it is appropriate (the same is true for any publication).Sincerely,Jeff Kargel

    Dear
        colleagues, 
    we
        are pleased to send you the official announcement and program of
        the GAPHAZ workshop on 14 September
        in Torino. GAPHAZ ist the Joint Standing Group on Glacier and
        Permafrost
        Hazards in Mountains of the International Association of
        Cryospheric Sciences (IACS)
        and the International Permafrost Association (IPA).

      
    

      
    The
        workshop has been announced earlier and in the mean time we have
        elaborated the
        structure and organization of the workshop. You will see that we
        will have 4
        sessions that cut through different thematic aspects. 
    The
        workshop aims at an exchange among experts and clearly also at
        producing a
        document on standards in our field. Ken Hewitt is leading this
        particular
        process and a draft should be produced before the workshop. 
    According
        to the objectives we have reserved a good amount of time for
        moderated
        discussions and exchange, but we also encourage you to submit an
        abstract for
        poster presentation. 
     
    Deadline
        for registration and abstract submission is 1 August 2014
        (all further
        information to be found in the document attached). 
     
    We
        scheduled this workshop just the day before the Engineering
        Geology conference (IAEG) starts, so that at least several among
        you can profit from
        both meetings (and the city of Torino and the Piemonte Region
        are great
        attractions by themselves, just to mention this)
     
    We
        greatly appreciate the on-site support by our Torino colleagues
        to host
        this meeting. We try to provide a no-cost meeting (sponsoring
        pending), or have to collect a some
        small amount of money for coffee breaks etc. 
     
    Please
        feel free to share this information with your colleagues
        interested in glacier,
        permafrost, snow and high-mountain hazards and risks. 
    Christian,
        along with Ken, John and Michael
