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 Jeffrey S.

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.
