Thank you organizers, participants, and all the contributing groups at the University of Massachusetts Amherst:听Climate and Cryosphere;听 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 Fellow听John Andrews. Its main purpose remains intact:听to听give graduate students an opportunity to present their ongoing research, gain experience in public speaking, and obtain feedback from more senior researchers.听
