DESCRIPTION:Announcing the 16th GLIMS Workshop, to be held August 11-13, 2017, in Bould
 er, Colorado, USA.\nImmediately before the International Glaciological Soci
 ety (IGS) Symposium on "Polar Ice, Polar Climate, Polar Change", the GLIMS 
 (Global Land Ice Measurements from Space) community will conduct a workshop
  to foster involvement from the community in glacier mapping and to improve
  our responsiveness to the community. The approximate agenda is below.\nThe
  IGS symposium's focus is on high latitudes, where there are many glaciers 
 and ice caps treated by the GLIMS community and which are of high scientifi
 c interest (e.g. the surging Vavilov ice cap). We hope to have the particip
 ation of many of the attendees of this IGS symposium.\nVenue: the National 
 Snow and Ice Data Center, East Campus of the University of Colorado\nPlease
