A new working group on the Regional Assessments of Glacier MAss Change
(RAGMAC; 2019-2023) has been approved by the International Association
of Cryospheric Sciences:
https://cryosphericsciences.org/activities/wg-ragmac/
The overall goal of this working group (WG) is bringing together the
research community that is assessing regional glacier mass changes from
various observation technologies (e.g., glaciological and geodetic
DEM-differencing methods, altimetry, gravimetry) with the ultimate goal
to obtain new consensus estimates of global glacier mass changes and
related uncertainties.
Participation is open to everybody. We welcome broad international
participation and aim for diversity with regard to methodological
expertise, gender, geographic spread, and career stage. It is expected
that WG members will contribute actively to the WG goals, participate in
regular meetings (organized virtually or during conferences), and become
IACS members*. Participants are expected to make their observational
results available to the scientific community after publication by
submission to an international data repository.
If you are interested in joining and contributing to RAGMAC, please
reply to this email with a short abstract outlining your intended
contribution.
A virtual kick-off meeting for current and potential future members will
be hold
+ on THU, 30th Jan, at 8 pm CET for participants from Europe, Africa,
and the Americas.
+ on FRI, 31st Jan, at 8 am CET for participants from Europe, Africa,
Asia, Australia and New Zealand
