Dear all,<div><br></div><div>Several GLIMS people have indicated an interest in getting together in Columbus, Ohio for the IGS symposium thematically centered around Earth's disappearing ice. </div><div> Meeting dates: August 15-20, 2010.</div><div> Abstract submission deadline: April 23.</div><div> Meeting Second Circular: http://www.igsoc.org/symposia/2010/ohio/ohio2ndcircular.pdf</div><div><br></div><div>I endorse this idea and encourage GLIMS participation. I don't think we need to call a GLIMS miniworkshop in association with it; I think we are all interested in the whole meeting. We can have plenty GLIMS+ socialization and collaboration planning time during poster sessions, lunches, dinners and after-dinner times. (If there was popular demand in holding a dedicated half-day GLIMS working group meeting, we could do it.)</div><div><br></div><div>As for the Oslo Polar Science Conference, it is my understanding that there were few GLIMS submissions. I am interested in collecting a list of GLIMS people who plan to be there. It may be that it is not worth holding any sort of miniworkshop due to lagging interest in that meeting. </div><div><br></div><div>I will proceed with plans to meet in Columbus this August, and then also in Mendoza, Argentina in about one year-- February or March 2011 was mentioned by our Argentinian colleagues. More about Mendoza later. I solicit indications of interest in a 3-day GIMS workshop and additional optional glacier trekking in Argentina.</div><div><br></div><div>--Jeff Kargel</div><div> </div> <br /><hr />Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/201469226/direct/01/' target='_new'>Sign up now.</a></body>
