- Workshop on the Dynamics and Mass Budget of Arctic Glaciers
IASC Network on Arctic Glaciology Annual Meeting
10-13 January 2012
Zieleniec, Poland
Organizers of the Workshop on the Dynamics and Mass Budget of Arctic
Glaciers, and the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) Network
on Arctic Glaciology Annual, announce that the registration deadline has
been extended to Tuesday, 15 November 2011.
The purpose of the meeting is to present and discuss new results on
observations and modeling of the dynamics and mass budget of arctic
glaciers, including the Greenland ice sheet; to plan and coordinate
field work on arctic glaciers with the aim of using the available
infrastructure and logistics in the most efficient way; and to develop
ideas for future projects and collaboration.
Participation is open to everyone interested in arctic glaciology.
Contributions in the form of oral presentations or posters are welcomed;
presentations will be allocated 20 minutes (including discussion). A
poster session including short 2-3 minute introductions to posters will
be arranged. Abstracts must be submitted to Krzysztof Migala
(krzysztof.migala [at] uni.wroc.pl) no later than 2 December 2011, and should
indicate whether an oral or poster presentation is preferred.
Organizers hope to raise financial support for young scientists to
participate in the meeting. Interested early career scientists must
submit an application to Martin Sharp (martin.sharp [at] ualberta.ca) by 15
November 2011. The application should include your name, affiliation,
age, supervisor, a short (five-line) description of your research
project, and a copy of your submitted abstract.
Extended registration deadline: Tuesday, 15 November 2011.
