A Workshop on Assessing Global Glacier Recession

2003年3月，将在科罗拉多州博尔德的国家冰雪数据中心召开一次为期3天的研讨会，目的是评估确定过去半个世纪或更长时间内全球山地冰川衰退的现行方法。最近的证据表明，几个关键地区的冰川质量损失正在加速，因此，对冰川对全球海平面上升的贡献以及冰川化盆地未来水资源的评估必须对冰川变化进行更全面的评估。这次研讨会的更广泛影响包括：将来自领先团体的专家聚集在一起，来自北美和其他地方的年轻和女性科学家代表不足。 大约25-30个被选中的部门将获得资助，研讨会将向其他感兴趣的个人开放。在EOS上发表的研讨会报告将把这些想法带给广大的科学观众

0307144BarryA 3-day workshop will be convened at the National Snow and Ice DataCenter, Boulder, CO in March 2003 with the aim of evaluating currentmethods of determining the worldwide recession of mountain glaciers overthe last half-century or longer. Recent evidence suggests an acceleration ofglacier mass loss in several key regions and it is imperative forassessment of ice contributions to global sea level rise and of futurewater resources from glacierized basins that a more comprehensiveevaluation be made of glacier changes.The broader impacts of this workshop include: bringing togetherexperts from leading groups, with under-represented young and femalescientists from North America and elsewhere. About 25-30 selectedindividuals will be funded and the workshop will be open to otherinterested individuals.The publication of a workshop report in EOS will bring the ideas to awide scientific audience
