AUDIO-VISUAL EQUIPMENT The lecture room is equipped with two overhead projectors, one slide projector and one PC/Video projector. PC/Video projections: using your personal computer, authors must bring, install and test their own computer (Laptop/MAC) and software before the beginning of their respective session. Four independent laptop/MAC computers (with their own power and monitor cables) can be connected to the beamer and switched one after another just before the actual presentation starts. The Laptops/MACs should be installed before the session starts, in the order of presentation in the session, and be removed only after the session has ended. REGISTRATION Registration will be on site. We will charge a small registration fee to cover the meeting facilities, equipment, and refreshment breaks. INQUIRIES: Can be made to Jeff Kargel. Contact information at the end of this message. AGENDA The agenda below is preliminary. Additional attendees are welcome, but please inform Jeff Kargel by email as soon as possible if you plan to attend. Additional short presentations are solicited on the theme of glacier change measurements using remote sensing or field validation of remote sensing measurements of glaciers (typically 10 min. for add-ons). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Preliminary agenda, Sep. 2-3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 08:15 MONDAY, Registration, Coffee/tea/juice/fruit/pastries (30 min.) 09:00 Jeff Kargel INTRODUCTION TO ALL/WELCOME: 10 min.
