  Information - CR11 Glaciers as indicators of current climate change (co-listed in CL)

Event Information
Although there is general agreement on the evidence of global warming,
there is still much debate on the magnitude and the regional pattern of the
response of glaciers to climate change. As more and more data are compiled
on glaciers around the world (e.g. GLIMS), the scientific community now has
a better opportunity to study links between climate and glaciers. This
session aims at bringing together a broad range of contributions dealing
with glaciers as indicators of current climate change from different
glacial regimes from around the world. Theoretical contributions on the
modelling of glacier mass balance in different climates are just as welcome
as regional studies on recently observed changes of individual glaciers or
ice sheets. Presentations that address the global aspects of
climate-glacier interactions based on glacier mass balance records are
particularly encouraged. Also, contributions addressing glacier monitoring
methods and strategies will be considered for this session.
