[GLIMS] GLIMS/RGI Splinter Meeting at EGU General Assembly 2017

[Frank Paul]

Dear Colleagues
 
The new GLIMS core group invites you to a splinter meeting (SMP71) at this year’s EGU General Assembly. We have reserved room 2.17 on Monday 13:30-15:00 CEST for this.
 
The meeting will bring together the GLIMS core group (B. Raup, E. Berthier, T. Bolch, J. Kargel, F. Paul, A. Racovitenau in attendance) and those interested in contributing or providing feedback to GLIMS and the RGI. There will be a couple of short presentations and time for open discussion on themes of interest (see draft program below). If you are interested in attending, please just show up. If you want to present something related to GLIMS/RGI or have other questions to the meeting, please get in touch with frank.paul at geo.uzh.ch. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
 
With thanks for your interest and best regards on behalf of the GLIMS core group,
 
Frank
