<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Dear
colleagues, </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US">we
are pleased to send you the official announcement and program of
the GAPHAZ workshop on 14 September
in Torino. GAPHAZ ist the Joint Standing Group on Glacier and
Permafrost
Hazards in Mountains of the International Association of
Cryospheric Sciences (IACS)
and the International Permafrost Association (IPA).<br>
</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><br>
<span style="" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US">The
workshop has been announced earlier and in the mean time we have
elaborated the
structure and organization of the workshop. You will see that we
will have 4
sessions that cut through different thematic aspects. </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US">The
workshop aims at an exchange among experts and clearly also at
producing a
document on standards in our field. Ken Hewitt is leading this
particular
process and a draft should be produced before the workshop. </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US">According
to the objectives we have reserved a good amount of time for
moderated
discussions and exchange, but we also encourage you to submit an
abstract for
poster presentation. </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Deadline
for registration and abstract submission is <b>1 August 2014</b>
(all further
information to be found in the document attached). </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US">We
scheduled this workshop just the day before the Engineering
Geology conference (IAEG) starts, so that at least several among
you can profit from
both meetings (and the city of Torino and the Piemonte Region
are great
attractions by themselves, just to mention this)</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US">We
greatly appreciate the on-site support by our Torino colleagues
to host
this meeting. We try to provide a no-cost meeting (sponsoring
pending), or have to collect a some
small amount of money for coffee breaks etc. </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US"><span style=""> </span></span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Please
feel free to share this information with your colleagues
interested in glacier,
permafrost, snow and high-mountain hazards and risks. </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Christian,
along with Ken, John and Michael</span></p>
