GLIMS Workshop - Cambridge 17-18 August 2006

[Narelle Baker]

GLIMS Workshop Cambridge, 17-18 August  2006
**********************************************************

The Global Land Ice Measurement from Space (GLIMS) Group will be
conducting a workshop on the 17-18 August 2006, in Cambridge, United
Kingdom. This is in conjunction with IGS International Symposium on
Cryospheric Indicators of Global Climate Change (21-25 August 2006).

GLIMS is a project designed to monitor the world's glaciers primarily
using data from the ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and
reflection Radiometer) instrument aboard the EOS Terra spacecraft,
launched in December, 1999. For further information
see:http://www.glims.org/. We welcome presentations on research that
uses ASTER or similar instruments to measure changes in glaciers, ice
caps, and ice sheets.

The GLIMS Workshop will be held at Scott Polar Research Institute
(SPRI) and will consist of both poster and oral presentations. GLIMS
Group presentations on the GLIMS Analysis Comparison Experiment
(GLACE) and hands-on GLIMSView training will also be part of this
workshop. GLIMS is strongly collaborative and we welcome participation
from all areas of the cryospheric remote sensing community. We also
strongly encourage students to take part, as it is an excellent
technique-focused learning and networking opportunity.

Oral and poster presentations are both welcomed. Oral presentations
will be approximately 15 minutes long and poster presentations will
take place as part of a dedicated poster session. Poster boards will
accommodate A0 size (84 cm x 119 cm) or smaller posters.

Accommodation options are also currently being arranged.

REGISTRATION FOR THIS WORKSHOP WILL OPEN SHORTLY.
