Thank you organizers, participants, and all the contributing groups at the University of Massachusetts Amherst:Climate and Cryosphere; Earth, Geographic, & Climate Sciences; and School of Earth and Sustainability.

The Workshop has grown out of a series of informal annual meetings started in 1970 by INSTAAR Faculty FellowJohn Andrews. Its main purpose remains intact:togive graduate students an opportunity to present their ongoing research, gain experience in public speaking, and obtain feedback from more senior researchers.
