58TH ANNUAL EASTERN SNOW CONFERENCE
CALL FOR PAPERS
Snow & Ice: Principles, Processes, Management, and Use
14-17 May 2001
OTTAWA, CANADA
The Eastern Snow Conference (ESC) will meet with the Canadian
Geophysical Union (CGU) in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada from 14-17 May 2001.
This meeting will include joint sessions with the CGU-Hydrology Section
and Committee on River Ice in the Environment and is co-sponsored by the
International Glaciological Society. The scientific program is open to
theoretical, experimental, and operational studies of snow, ice, and
winter hydrology. The theme this year is "Snow and Ice: Principles,
Processes, Management, and Use", marking 20 years since the publication
of the Handbook of Snow: Principles, Processes, Management, and Use. The
Invited Paper will be given by Professor Julian Dowdeswell, Bristol
Glaciology Centre, University of Bristol, England headlining a Working
Session on Arctic Glaciers. There are also sessions on:
*Cold Season Hydrology,
*Snow & Ice Processes,
*Snow & Ice Hydrometeorology,
*Arctic Cryosphere,
*Snow-Vegetation Interactions,
*Snow Biology, and
*Snow & Ice: Hydrology and Management.
There is also a varied social programme including an ice-breaker, an ESC
evening with the CGU Hydrology Section at an Ottawa pub, and the Banquet
with CGU in the Parliament Buildings.
This is likely to be the premiere snow and ice meeting anywhere in
2001, so to be eligible to submit a paper and to get your copy of the
proceedings, make sure to join the ESC when registering for the joint
ESC/CGU meeting!
