SVALBARD SCIENCE CONFERENCE GLACIOLOGY FLAGSHIP WORKSHOP

The workshop will develop further international and interdisciplinary cooperation on modelling 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 increased cooperation and coordination of field activities to reduce costs and environmental impact.
