GLIMS Update: (1) Kudos; (2) NASA funding

[Jeff Kargel]

Dear GLIMS colleagues,

Kudos to Deborah Soltesz for some excellent work she has been doing for GLIMSView and the GLIMS website, such as the recent inauguration of a discussion forum and other work she has been doing behind the scenes.

Also, to those eligible for NASA funding (generally not foreigners working at foreign institutions, unfortunately), please do not forget that NASA has an important funding opportunity this summer under the program Earth System Science Research using Data and Products from the Terra, Aqua, and ACRIMSAT Satellites.  I would imagine that each U.S. GLIMS institution, plus those aspiring to join GLIMS (and a whole lot of others) will be submitting proposals or will be teaming with PIs who will submit proposals.
