build community of people who can contribute to and work with the ICE-D database and infrastructure.

Focus will be on expanding the user base for the ICE-D Alpine application.

– How the infrastructure is set up

– How the database is organized

– How to put data into the database (hands-on)

– Spend some time digging Alpine data out of the literature and adding to the database (users more than welcome to prepare their own data)

– How to get data out of the database using MATLAB, Python, GIS, whatever

Possible extra topics:

– How to use ICE-D data in an embedded web map

– How to build a web application that uses ICE-D data

USGS Denver offices – Our contact at the USGS, Leah Morgan has reserved a space in the USGS building (exact room details to come)

Lodging – we plan on reserving rooms at details to come.

Number of people: target 10 participants, plus workshop leaders (Balco, Tulenko) and USGS folks

Target audience:

Graduate students, postdocs, early-career faculty who are interested in synoptic analysis of cosmogenic-nuclide data.

NSF funding is available to support participant travel. At present we believe we can support 10 attendees. Funding will be prioritized by inverse career state: students, then postdocs, etc.

Some workshop participants have been invited by the organizers. We are also soliciting applications for additional participants. Applicants should have the following properties:

– Involved in research having to do with cosmogenic-nuclide exposure dating of glacier change

– Involved in or interested in using large data exposure-age data sets for synoptic climate or glacier change analysis

– Motivated to participate in the ICE-D project in future by (i) building or maintaining data, (ii) developing new analysis or visualization applications, or (iii) using ICE-D resources for undergraduate/graduate teaching or outreach.

– Some knowledge of programming environments used to build websites and/or analyze data, for example SQL, Python, and MATLAB.

– Most likely a graduate student or postdoc

To apply, submit the following materials to Joe Tulenko (jtulenko@bgc.org):

– A CV

– A letter explaining (i) how you meet the requirements above, and (ii) what you would like to do with the ICE-D databases or infrastructure
