[GLIMS] Glaciers: What are they doing?

[Bruce RAUP]

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit an abstract to the following session at the AGU
Fall Meeting in San Francisco, Dec 15-19, 2014.

Glacier Monitoring from In-situ and Remotely Sensed Observations

Session ID#: 2035

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/webprogrampreliminary/Session2035.html


Session Description:

Understanding glacial processes is key to assessing the sensitivity of
glacier systems to changing climate. An important basis for large scale
assessments is a comprehensive glacier inventory. Glaciers are monitored on
different spatio-temporal scales, from extensive seasonal mass balance
studies at selected glaciers to multi-decadal repeat inventories over
entire mountain ranges. Internationally coordinated glacier monitoring aims
at combining in-situ measurement with remotely sensed data, and local
process understanding with global coverage. Bringing together studies from
the tropics to polar regions as well as from different disciplines, this
session includes presentations on both in-situ and remotely sensed
monitoring of glaciers, and on related uncertainty assessments.

Invited speakers:
     Liss Andreassen
     Antoine Rabatel
     Valentina Radiç
     Liu Shiyin


Conveners:
Bruce H Raup and Richard L Armstrong, University of Colorado at Boulder
Michael Zemp and Tobias Bolch, University of Zurich

The abstract submission deadline is August 6, 2014.

We hope to see you in San Francisco.
