DESCRIPTION:<p>Announcing the <strong>16th GLIMS Workshop</strong>, to be held <strong>
 August 11-13, 2017, in Boulder, Colorado, USA</strong>.</p><p>Immediately b
 efore the International Glaciological Society (IGS) Symposium on "Polar Ice
 , Polar Climate, Polar Change", the GLIMS (Global Land Ice Measurements fro
 m Space) community will conduct a workshop to foster involvement from the c
 ommunity in glacier mapping and to improve our responsiveness to the commun
 ity. The approximate agenda is below.</p><p>The IGS symposium's focus is on
  high latitudes, where there are many glaciers and ice caps treated by the 
 GLIMS community and which are of high scientific interest (e.g. the surging
  Vavilov ice cap). We hope to have the participation of many of the attende
 es of this IGS symposium.</p><p>Venue: the National Snow and Ice Data Cente
