Dear Cryolist Subscribers,
 
The SPIRIT (/Spot5 stereoscopic survey of Polar Ice: Reference Images 
&Topographies/) workshop will be held in Toulouse on *29-30 April 2010* 
(http://etienne.berthier.free.fr/SPIRIT/) 
<http://etienne.berthier.free.fr/SPIRIT/>.
 
The aim of this workshop is to present completed and on-going 
glaciological researches based on SPIRIT data and share experiences 
using these data. Presentations analyzing DEM derived from other 
space-borne sensors (e.g., ASTER, ALOS, etc.) over polar and non-polar 
ice masses are also welcome. Future ice topographies using SPOT5-HRS, 
Pleiades, and also IceBridge, Tandem-X, Cryosat-2, etc, may also be 
discussed
 
Apart from the glaciological talks, time will be also allocated for 
presentations by:

    * the French Space Agency (CNES, who designed the Spot5 satellite
      and entirely funded the SPIRIT project),
    * Spot Image (who manages the Spot5 satellite and acquired the IPY
      images) and,
    * the French Mapping Agency (IGN, who derived the DEMs from the
      Spot5 stereo-images).

This a unique opportunity to bring together the glaciological community 
with CNES, Spot Image and IGN in order to discuss future acquisitions on 
polar (and non-polar) glaciated regions using the Spot5-HRS sensor and 
forthcoming very high resolution satellites such as Pleiades.
 
The workshop will be organized, Thursday 29 and Friday 30 April, just 
before EGU-2010 (2 to 7 May in Vienna). You will thus have time to enjoy 
Toulouse (http://www.uk.toulouse-tourisme.com/accueil/index_en.php) and 
southwest France (Carcasonne, Pyrénées, etc) during the week-end 
in-between the two scientific events.
 
On the meeting website (http://etienne.berthier.free.fr/SPIRIT/) 
<http://etienne.berthier.free.fr/SPIRIT/>, you will find some details 
about the venue, accommodations and (when available) the scientific 
program. A preliminary list of speakers is also available.
 
If you wish to come and present some results, email me the title of your 
contribution before *26 **February 2010*.
 
We hope to see you next April in Toulouse,
 
Etienne Berthier, LEGOS-CNRS

*Background about SPIRIT*
SPIRIT (SPOT5 stereoscopic survey of Polar Ice: Reference Images 
&Topographies) is an International Polar Year (IPY) project that allowed 
a comprehensive coverage of polar ice masses with high resolution SPOT5 
stereoscopic images 
(http://www.spotimage.com/web/en/1587-international-polar-year.php). For 
selected areas, DEMs and orthorectified images have been derived from 
SPOT5 images and delivered for free to polar glaciologists.
