October 17-19 2016
University of Grenoble, Grenoble, France
INARCH participants and their research teams are invited to participate in the second GEWEX INARCH Workshop. This workshop will bring scientists together to explore and discuss specific issues in mountain snow and ice hydrology highlighted after the inaugural INARCH workshop in Kananaskis in October 2015. The workshop is open to all scientists contributing directly or indirectly to the INARCH GEWEX crosscut project. Early-career scientists are encouraged to participate. If you wish to become an INARCH participant please contact John Pomeroy with an expression of interest and description of what your contribution to the project might be.
Three main topics will be covered by the Workshop:
- Atmospheric downscaling for mountain snow and ice hydrology modeling
- Availability and suitability of surface observations and spatial observations from mountain observatories (including discussion of the mountain observations journal special issue)
- Climate sensitivity numerical experiments – results from numerical diagnostic experiments using the cryospheric and hydrological response of mountain catchments to various representations of a changing climate
This 3-day meeting will include 2 days of presentations/discussions and a 1-day optional field trip to one of the INARCH observatories in the French Alps (to be determined). It will take place at the Laboratory of Glaciology and Environmental Geophysics (Lliboutry Conference Room, LGGE main building), on the campus of University of Grenoble, Grenoble, France. There will be no meeting registration cost and lunch will be provided (including the lunch during the optional field trip). We anticipate being able to provide partial travel support to participants for travel and accommodation (especially to early career scientists). Please contact the organizing committee if you wish to request this support.
Participants will make their own travel arrangements to Grenoble. Information regarding transportation is available on the 'How to find the LGGE' webpage.
Interested participants need to provide an expression of interest of attending or presenting by emailing Vincent Vionnet. If you wish to make a presentation please indicate the provisional title of your talk. An abstract will be requested later. Please also mention whether you intend to participate in the optional field trip.
The Scientific Committee thanks you for considering this workshop and thank the Local Organising Committee for their work in making arrangements and hosting it in France this year.
