Dear GLIMS colleagues, (1) GLIMS Workshop, Sep. 2-3, 2002, Chamonix, France. Since it is the end of March, the next GLIMS workshop is just 5 months away. I am still negotiating to arrange 2 possible venues for the workshop, but at this point the meeting dates, at least, are pretty firm. The workshop will take place on Sep. 2-3, the Monday and Tuesday following the IGS Symposium in Chamonix. Hopefully the final logistical details will be worked out this week, and I will of course forward those details to you as soon as they are confirmed. (2) ASTER data pricing policy. For those of you who may not have been checking on ASTER data acquisitions, you may be pleasantly surprised to see that the pace of glacier imaging has picked up. Not so pleasant, ASTER data will soon come at a price, so place your orders now before the cost starts hurting. The last I heard, April could be the month when the new pricing policy is implemented.
