This CliC GTNP ESA DUE Permafrost workshop
• will bring together a multidisciplinary community working on permafrost-related remote sensing, field monitoring and permafrost-related modelling and climate modeling.
• will collect and discuss the up-to-date User requirements, validation approaches and the broadening range of applications.
• will contribute to the update of the IGOS Cryosphere Theme Report (2007) for permafrost.
• will feed into current efforts of GTN-P to build a permafrost observing component into the Sustaining Arctic Observing Network (SAON).
This meeting is open to all who are interested in attending. There will be no registration fee. Participants are invited to submit an abstract for an oral presentation or a poster.
The workshop is jointly organized by CliC, ESA, and members of the former DUE permafrost team, Birgit Heim (AWI, DE), Annett Bartsch (APRI,AT & LMU, DE), Claude Duguay (UW, CA) Jenny Baseman (CliC), Vladimir Romanovsky (IPA/GTN-P) and Frank-Martin Seifert (ESA).
