Sign up for Workshop 2 - Edinburgh
From 28th – 30th August 2023, the GlaMBIE community will meet in Edinburgh for the second GlaMBIE workshop. It will be hosted by Earthwave at CodeBase Edinburgh. The aim of the workshop is to focus on the main GlaMBIE study and discuss the submitted data sets in detail (with the participants and stakeholders), as well as the shared paper. The workshop is open to GlaMBIE participants, the Scientific Advisory Board, the Stakeholder Board and the wider glacier community. The meeting will be partly held in hybrid format, however it will rely heavily on the physical presence of participants – so in-person attendance is strongly encouraged.
The workshop is free to attend. Registration will close on July 31st, 2023.
