Summary of International Glacier Monitoring Summit

Abstract

In the first week of September 2010, international experts on glacier monitoring convened in Zermatt, Switzerland, for two separate but related meetings. They discussed glacier data compiled over the past 150 years and how to improve this dataset to meet the challenges of the 21st century, pre- sented latest results from in situ and remotely sensed obser- vations, and came up with key tasks for the glacier moni- toring community for the coming decade
