[CRYOLIST] Workshop "Measurements of ice structures by means of image analysis"

Dear colleagues,

a workshop on "Measurements of ice structures by means of image analysis" takes place from 23-27 February 2015 in Bremerhaven, Germany. Please register no later than 8 February.

For further information, contact details and registration visit http://www.awi.de/index.php?id=7415.

Invited speakers/lecturers:
  • Renée Heilbronner, Geologisch-Paläontologisches Institut, Universität Basel, Switzerland
  • Mark Peternell, Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany
  • Sérgio H. Faria, Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3), Bilbao, Spain

The internal structure of polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers has been analyzed for several decades by increasingly sophisticated imaging techniques. This workshop will focus on the current state of available methods of image analysis applicable for micrometer- to hundred meter-scale structures. The objective is also bringing together researchers from a variety of backgrounds to compile the current state of already available and possibly derivable data.

The workshop is organized at AWI, Alfred-Wegener-Institut Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar- und Meeresforschung and is sponsored by the ESF research networking programme Micro-DICE.

Accommodation as well as catering is offered at a price of 50 €. The number of places is limited and are assigned on a first come/first served basis. Travel costs are covered by the participants.

Best regards,
Tobias Binder
