Dear colleagues

The next Alpine Glaciological Meeting (AGM) will be held in Chamonix, France, on the 6th and 7th of March, 2008. The meeting serves as an informal exchange platform for researchers working on snow, glaciers and permafrost. Oral and poster presentations are welcome, and young researchers are especially encouraged to present their work in progress.
The possibility of a day field trip (Vallee Blanche downhill skiing) on the 8th of March is envisaged depending on weather conditions.

Please submit your contribution (title, oral or poster presentation) to Christian or Emmanuel:
vincent@lgge.obs.ujf-grenoble.fr. The deadline for submission is 31 January.

Oral presentation will be allowed 20 minutes inclusive of some time for discussion. Authors of posters will be allocated 1-2 minutes to summarize their poster.
