US Midwest Glaciological Meeting

With this email, we announce the 2009 MGM (the Midwest Glaciological Meeting) to be held at the University of Chicago on 27-28 March (Friday and Saturday). An impromptu "iceberg calving workshop" is also tentatively scheduled (pending interest) for the afternoon prior to the beginning of MGM, on Thursday the 26th of March.

As with past MGM's, the meeting will be strictly informal, with no time-limits on presentations (all will be oral, projection equipment provided). (Speakers be warned that the lack of a time limit is paired with a lack of prohibition on heckling by audience members...)

Details of the meeting's location, timing and travel arrangements can be found on the following website:

If you are interested in attending the meeting (and the possible calving workshop), please respond to the email link in the web page or to:

mgm-2009@geosci.uchicago.edu

... to express your interests/intentions.

With best wishes, and in hopes that we will see you in Chicago this March,

Doug MacAyeal, Jeremy Bassis and Mac Cathles
