To: Cryolist <cryolist@cryolist.org>


As part of the process of preparing for the 3rd International Conference on Arctic Research Planning, we have received funding to run a workshop on the role of albedo feedbacks in the mass balance of the Arctic terrestrial cryosphere, including (i) the Greenland Ice Sheet, (ii) glaciers and ice caps in Alaska, Arctic Canada, Greenland, Iceland, northern Scandinavia, Svalbard, and the Russian Arctic islands; (iii) the Arctic seasonal snow cover, and (iv) ground ice and frozen ground in the Arctic. 

Further details of what we have in mind can be supplied on request.

The workshop will likely be held in Bristol, UK, in mid-September 2014. Part of the funding available is intended to support the participation of early career scientists in the workshop. We therefore invite early career scientists with interests in this field who would like to participate to let us know of their interest. Please send of expressions of interest, which should include a summary of relevant experience and expertise and a statement of the funding that would be needed to allow return travel to Bristol to Dr Martin Sharp at martin.sharp@ualberta.ca by  July 31, 2014.

Thanks
