Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing a symposium on Cryosphere-Climate Interaction to be
held at the IUGG in Sapporo on July 7th-8th 2003. As convenors we have
decided to concentrate the meeting on a number of themes listed below
and have secured the acceptance of several invited speakers.
-Ice Shelf Ocean Interaction.
-Ice sheet mass balance and Interaction between atmosphere and ice
sheets.
-Sea Ice-Ocean-Atmosphere Interaction.
-Climate response in high latitudes.
-Response of Glaciers and Permafrost to climate change.
The invited speakers include Barry Goodison (CliC programme and snow
cover), John Walsh (Climate response in high latitudes), Andreas Kaeaeb
(Glaciers and Permafrost), Ian Allison (Sea Ice). Speakers have yet to
be confirmed for the remaining themes.
There are a number of other sessions occurring in Sapporo, which cover
polar and glaciology topics, Remote sensing of the Cryosphere; Arctic
Environmental Change; Southern Ocean; Global Sea Level Rise, Global
Climate Change and Ice Sheet stability.
More details and a preliminary programme can be found at the IUGG site:
