SUMMARY:Workshop on the importance of calving for the mass budget of Arctic glaciers
LOCATION:Sopot\, Poland
DESCRIPTION:The Polish Centre for Polar Studies will host a scientific seminar on the "
 Importance of calving for the mass budget of Arctic glaciers" with focus on
  ice mass loss at fronts of tidewater glaciers in a Pan-Arctic scale in the
  seaside resort Sopot, Poland, 15 - 17 October 2016\nThe purpose of the mee
 ting is to:\n- assess the current knowledge on ice mass loss at fronts of A
 rctic tidewater glaciers;\n- provide a consistent description of methodolog
 ies and terminologies so that inter-comparison between Arctic regions will 
 be more feasible;\n- consider estimation of discharge for regions where the
 y currently do not exist;\n- assess the importance of frontal mass loss for
  the general mass budget of glaciers in different Arctic regions.\nThe semi
 nar will be hosted and financially supported by the Centre for Polar Studie
 s - University of Silesia and Institute of Oceanology Polish Academy of Sci
 ences, Poland under the umbrella and with support of the International Arct
 ic Science Committee (IASC), through its Network on Arctic Glaciology, and 
 the Committee of Polar Research Polish Academy of Sciences.\nParticipation:
 \nThe seminar will bring together invited experts on Arctic calving glacier
 s and mass balance (ca. 20 people) and is open to everyone interested in th
 ese issues. The total number of participants is limited to 40 persons.\nFou
 r - five working session are planned with 1-2 invited introductory talks an
 d longer time slot for discussion during each. Uninvited presentations are

 a/results (up to 5 min.) could be possible.\nExpected seminar outcome:\nA r
 eport with recommendations for further coordinated activity and a sketch of
  an overview paper(s) on existing knowledge about frontal ablation and dyna
 mic discharge and their contribution to the mass balance of Arctic glaciers
