Papers are now being accepted for the following session at the joint
meeting of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographical Society,
Canadian Geophysical Union, and American Meteorological Society
(CMOS-CGU-AMS) being held on 28 May-1 June 2007, in St. John's,
Newfoundland, Canada:

Session H06: Glaciers and Ice Sheets: Processes and Modeling

Session description:
Glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets play an increasingly recognized role
in the global climate system. They are valuable archives of past
environmental conditions and indicators of current environmental change.
Their dynamic response to change shapes landscapes and alters sea level,
and can be examined using in-situ, modeling, and remote-sensing
techniques. Session conveners invite contributions on all aspects of
glaciology, particularly those that address the properties and processes
of present-day ice masses. This session will bring together
glaciologists, geomorphologists, climatologists, remote sensers, and
others, who work in diverse geographical locations but share an interest
in the state and sensitivity of our cryosphere.

Invited speaker:
The invited speaker is Kees van der Veen, University of Kansas, who will
present glacier-climate research conducted at Jakobshavn Isbrae,
Greenland.

Session conveners:
Gwenn Flowers, Simon Fraser University
Sarah Boon, University of Northern British Columbia

Abstracts must be submitted by Thursday, 15 February 2007, at the
