Dear Colleagues, We invite you to submit an abstract to the following session at the AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, Dec 15-19, 2014. Glacier Monitoring from In-situ and Remotely Sensed Observations Session ID#: 2035 https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/webprogrampreliminary/Session2035.html Session Description: Understanding glacial processes is key to assessing the sensitivity of glacier systems to changing climate. An important basis for large scale assessments is a comprehensive glacier inventory. Glaciers are monitored on different spatio-temporal scales, from extensive seasonal mass balance studies at selected glaciers to multi-decadal repeat inventories over entire mountain ranges. Internationally coordinated glacier monitoring aims at combining in-situ measurement with remotely sensed data, and local process understanding with global coverage. Bringing together studies from the tropics to polar regions as well as from different disciplines, this session includes presentations on both in-situ and remotely sensed monitoring of glaciers, and on related uncertainty assessments. Invited speakers: Liss Andreassen Antoine Rabatel Valentina Radiç Liu Shiyin Conveners: Bruce H Raup and Richard L Armstrong, University of Colorado at Boulder Michael Zemp and Tobias Bolch, University of Zurich The abstract submission deadline is August 6, 2014. We hope to see you in San Francisco. -- Bruce H. RAUP National Snow and Ice Data Center University of Colorado 449 UCB, Boulder, CO 80309 Phone: 303-492-8814 http://cires.colorado.edu/~braup/
