Svalbard Science Conference Glaciology Flagship workshop: Models and observations of snow and glacier mass balance

Tildelt: kr 91 406

This proposal seeks support for a workshop to enhance further international and interdisciplinary cooperation on modeling and field measurements of snow and glacier mass balance in Svalbard. Research challenges and opportunities will be identified, with focus on data gaps and sources of uncertainty, identifying new techniques and instrumentation, and optimizing program methodology. We will discuss unresolved modelling problems, and on increased cooperation and coordination of field activities to reduce costs and environmental impact. By drawing upon the collective expertise of a diverse group of experienced researchers, the workshop aims to forge more long-lasting contacts to enhance the interdisciplinary collaboration portfolio of the group, encourage transfer of knowledge and expertise within Norway and internationally, and reduce the environmental impact of research in Svalbard by improving and increasing collaboration between groups.
