Organizers announce that a workshop of current and future changes of the Greenland and Arctic cryosphere will be held in Ilulissat, Greenland on 2-5 June 2015. Abstract submissions from the Arctic community are invited.
The workshop will highlight overviews of current changes, as measured from space, airborne, and in-situ methods, and future projections of changes. The meeting is a follow up on the similar event 'Nuuk Climate Days 2009' and will involve both scientists and stakeholders in discussions on cryosphere changes, and their effects on the Greenland environment and society.
Ilulissat Climate Days is timed with air connections from Denmark and Iceland, and is arranged by a committee from Danish, Greenlandic, and Icelandic organizations. The activities will also include the final conference for the Nordic Centre of Excellence SVALI (Stability and Variations of Arctic Land Ice) as well as meetings related to the ESA Climate Change Initiative.
The workshop is being developed by an International Science Committee, and will consist of both invited science/stakeholder talks as well as submitted presentations.
Abstract submission deadline: 30 January 2015.
