Meeting Description

Applied geophysics, together with more fundamental theoretical and forward and inverse modelling advances, has played a major role in the exploration of the world’s ice masses and their geological settings and sedimentological legacies for more than half a century. Geophysical techniques have also proven to be highly suited for the characterisation of the properties of and processes within permafrost and seasonally frozen ground, as well as those within snow and other frozen materials. Geophysical exploration, often qualitatively or quantitatively integrated with other geoscientific methods and findings, has thus resulted in many exciting discoveries and case studies.

We cordially invite contributions from all areas of geophysics and associated disciplines as applied or relevant to present-day ice masses, ice cores, frozen ground or snow. Likewise, we are keen to receive contributions on the application of geophysical and associated techniques to glacial materials and products to reconstruct past ice masses, dynamics, and hydrology.

Annals of Glaciology Volume

Deadline: Friday, May 11th, 2012

The International Glaciological Society kindly invites submissions for an Annals of Glaciology volume based on the contributions to this conference. Details on the volume and manuscript submission will be announced in January 2012 after abstract submissions have closed. In the meantime, if you have any queries regarding a possible submission to the volume, please email the Chief Editor for the it, Bernd Kulessa (b.kulessa .at. swansea.ac.uk).
