Dear colleagues:

Apologies for cross-listing. This will likely be the final message on this string sent to

the GLIMS mailing list.

Each of you on the primary recipients' list has indicated what I believe is a confirmation

of intentions to participate in the 1-day pre-AGU workshop in San Francisco (Sunday Dec. 11),

Venue TBD. Today some announcements of AGU abstract acceptance and scheduling went

to authors, so I imagine many people now will be making flight reservations (and

hotels-- they are filling up!). I have two requests at this time:

1. Participants should indicate whether you wish to make a science or technology or

satellite data acquisition planning presentation (or other related topic) at the workshop... 5 to 20

minutes or whatever is needed. There's no harm in giving a talk that overlaps with an AGU

presentation.

2. Those of you on the GLIMS list (cc'ed) who have not already scheduled your flight and

are interested in attending the workshop, you are welcome to sign up. However, our meeting

venue will be determined soon, and for that we need a final count of participants. So please

signal your wish to participate if that is your intention. Feel free to forward this solicitation

of interest to other people interested in mountain cryosphere or high-mountain hazards.

A few of you have already signaled to me you presentation plan

I append the provisional workshop schedule.

PROVISIONAL AGENDA (Dec. 11, San Francisco, venue TBD). We will compress from this if warranted, but not lengthen the day:

MORNING: 8:10 AM - 12:30 PM

0. Greet and light breakfast (fruit, bagels, danish, coffee, tea, water, juice). 30 minutes.

3. Around-the-room personal/professional introductions. 10 minutes.

4. What is CEOS and the CEOS Hazards/Disasters working group? Green moderate, 5 minutes

5. What specifically do we hope to get out of this meeting? Green moderate, 5 minutes

6. Brief science presentations (5-15 minutes each) on multihazard hotspots

Probably about 10 presentations, start with 5 of them, 12 minutes average each one. 60 minutes. Kargel moderate.

7. 20 minutes break

8. Five more science and technology presentations, 60 minutes. Green moderate.

9. What satellites/sensors' data can we bring to bear? 10 minutes. Green

10. Group freeform discussion: Where are the multihazard hotspots? Make a list. 10 minutes. Kargel.

18 minutes to spare.

12. Lunch 90 minutes.

AFTERNOON, 2 PM- 4:45 PM

13. Group thematic discussion: What are the attributes of multihazards, their frequency, their associated vulnerabilities and overall risks (Ranked list of various regions) 45 minutes. Kargel.

14. What satellite data are available and abundant? 30 minutes. Green.

15. Of this list and the highly ranked regions (meaning high hazard, multihazard processes, high risk), who is willing to sign onto a specific region to serve as a region advocate and scientific expert for (a) development of a proposal/presentation to CEOS, and (b) analysis of a snippet of acquired data? Around the room: 15 minutes. Kargel.

16. Group discussion: Fitting into the High Mountain Asia program and other regional and global programs. 15 minutes. Green.
