IGS International Symposium on Cryospheric Indicators of Global Climate Change

(21-25 August 2006)

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR REGISTRATION AND ABSTRACTS

The Global Land Ice Measurement from Space (GLIMS) Group will be conducting a workshop on the 17-18 August 2006, in Cambridge, United Kingdom. This is in conjunction with IGS International Symposium on Cryospheric Indicators of Global Climate Change (21-25 August 2006).

GLIMS is a project designed to monitor the world's glaciers primarily using data from the ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and reflection Radiometer) instrument aboard the EOS Terra spacecraft, launched in December, 1999. For further information see:http://www.glims.org/. We welcome presentations on research that uses ASTER or similar instruments to measure changes in glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets.

The GLIMS Workshop will be held at Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) and will consist of both poster and oral presentations. GLIMS Group presentations on the GLIMS Analysis Comparison Experiment (GLACE) and hands-on GLIMSView training will also be part of this workshop. GLIMS is strongly collaborative and we welcome participation from all areas of the cryospheric remote sensing community. We also strongly encourage students to take part, as it is an excellent technique-focused learning and networking opportunity.

Oral and poster presentations are both welcomed. Oral presentations will be approximately 15 minutes long and poster presentations will take place as part of a dedicated poster session. Poster boards will accommodate A0 size (84 cm x 119 cm) or smaller posters.
