International Glaciological Society Global Seminar Series 2021 #55
June 16th
Miriam Jackson, ICIMOD
"ICIMOD's cryosphere research in High Mountain Asia: past and future"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You need to register in advance for the seminars, but your registration should last for several seminars. If it was a while ago that you registered - check your link still works and drop me an email if it doesn't. There's a short question to answer - please tell me enough to accept you! I'll be doing that manually, so just be kind and make it obvious (even if I met you once at AGU)… (something like: I'm a PhD student with X... or whatever). Using your official university email address would make my life particularly easy!
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the seminar. If you attended this week you use the same link next week and don't need to re-register.
