GLIMS Update: GLIMS Miniworkshop 12 Dec.

[Jeffrey S Kargel]

Dear colleagues,

As advertised previously, a GLIMS miniworkshop will held in San Francisco
on next Sunday afternoon preceding Fall AGU, 12 Dec., 1:00 PM to 5:30 PM,
Marriott (downtown, near Moscone Center), in the room Sierra I.  There will
be a laptop available for powerpoint presentations.  Please provide your
presentation well in advance of when you are scheduled to speak, preferably
at the start of the meeting, with your presentation clearly identified with
your name. The meeting room is not-- I believe-- filled to capacity yet, so
other GLIMS and non-GLIMS people may attend.  If you wish just to join us
for dinner afterward (place to be determined), that's fine, too!

I'm looking forward to seeing some of you there!

--Jeff K
