The 63rd Eastern Snow Conference (ESC) will be held on the campus of the
University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware on 7-9 June 2006. This
meeting will be held jointly with the Cryosphere Specialty Group of the
Association of American Geographers. The scientific program is open to
sessions on theoretical, experimental, and operational studies of snow,
ice, and winter hydrology. Organizers anticipate sessions on
snow-climate interactions, snow processes, ground ice and periglacial
processes, and remote sensing of snow. Student paper awards are
available. You are invited to submit an abstract for an oral or a poster
presentation. An abstract of 150-200 words should be submitted
electronically by Friday, 24 February 2006 to the program chair, Andrew
