Hi, As previously announced (see Jeff Kargel's email below), GLIMS is hosting a one-day Tools and Techniques workshop on Saturday, 12 April 2003 in Nice, France after the EGS-AGU-EUG Joint Assembly. Please bring a laptop computer if you can to try out the tutorials. We will also have several laptop computers available. If you have some ASTER or Landsat data that you would like to try with glimsview, please bring the original image files on a CD or a USB key. We are currently finalizing a meeting room (at either Novotel or Sofitel) and costs (~$30-$60 depending on venue). If you have not already done so, please inform Jeff Kargel or me if you plan to attend. Our agenda will offer the following topics: GLIMS Analysis: - hands-on tutorial of glimsview - image classification methods (multispectral, use of topography) - discussion of status of the various tutorials GLIMS Data Handling: - data transfer format and how to put data into it using non-glimsview tools - discussion of currently available datasets and likelihood of transfer to NSIDC GLIMS db - funding issues - open discussion I will send another message when we get the final word about our meeting location. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Rick +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Rick Wessels, Ph.D. rwessels@usgs.gov Arizona State University / U.S. Geological Survey 2255 N.

Dear GLIMS collaborators,
I just want to remind you that there will be a GLIMS tools workshop following the EGS meeting in Nice, France. The GLIMS workshop will be one full day on April 12, 2003. It will largely be a roll-up-your-sleeves, hands-on set of tutorials in use of various GLIMS database and analysis tools and ASTER glacier image identification/ordering/download. Chief instructors will include Rick Wessels, Bruce Raup, and I believe Andreas Kaeaeb. But others are also invited to present the tools you have developed or have purchased commercially and are applying in your glacier studies: please volunteer to present, demonstrate, and teach. Or you may attend in student mode only. I have been promised that a rough agenda will be developed and distributed within the next few days. At the same time I will send meeting logistics (including cost for room rental).
I am sorry to say that I will be unable to attend this meeting, but leadership of this meeting is in more-able hands.
Please, if you have not already informed me, let me know whether you plan on attending and whether you have a presentation/tutorial (and title). I should emphasize that this is not primarily a glacier science meeting (unlike previous GLIMS workshops), though perhaps there will be time and facilities to show posters, if interest merits (please indicate such interest). For those interested in this meeting, please book your travel to include participation, if you have not already done so.
More in a few days.
Cheers,
Jeff Kargel
