Dear GLIMS colleagues, 1. We need to clean the GLIMS list of people ( http://www.glims.org/glims/collaborators_people.php). The bottom of the table sums the entries as 270. This includes many duplicate names. The number of currently or recently active, listed participants is closer to 200 after accounting for duplicate names. The list also includes some long-ago or former wishful but unproductive contributors, but I am also sure there are many actual recent contributors who are not listed. I want to fix the list, so I seek your input on names of yourself or your unlisted colleagues who have contributed to the database, or behind the scenes to the glacier analysis, or to technology development that went straight into GLIMS analysis, or who contributed to the GLIMS book. I will make a list of people who I know or believe have not been active to a point of having contributed to the GLIMS database or the GLIMS book but who are nonetheless listed. If I am in doubt, I will email that person befor e striking them off the list. We might make a list of former major contributors who have retired or moved on to something else, but who should remain named in some capacity. For newly added names I need: Family name, given name, affiliation, geographic area(s) of interest, regional center if you know it, and contact email (your own email or a designated surrogate). 2. Some changes in the GLIMS acquisition parameters for ASTER were implemented a few months ago, so I ask Southern Hemisphere people to look at acquisitions in the last few months for southern targets. Let me know if things went well, or poorly (and whether due to few acquisitions; too much cloud cover; poor gains; artifacts; poor illumination; or too much snow cover), or so-so, and give numbers if possible, but at least a qualitative signal of whether things are working or not. I am particularly wondering about Antarctica (peninsula and "mainland"), but any southern glaciers are relevant at this time. --Jeff
