The meeting will be held at Skeikampen, a ski resort north of Lillehammer in Norway. The focus will be on presenting the state of the art of glacier mass balance methods, assessments and modelling. The workshop will build on the International Commission on Snow and Ice (ICSI/IAHS) workshop on methods of mass balance and modelling held in Tarfala, Sweden, 1998.
The 2008 workshop is an attempt to provide the state of the art in scientific understanding of mass balance measurements and modelling.
The workshop is sponsored by the International Association for Cryospheric Sciences (IACS) of IUGG, the International Glaciological Society (IGS) and the Norwegian Water resources and Energy Directorate(NVE).
