Dear Participant

To face today’s key challenges of global environmental change it is essential to cooperate at the interface between atmospheric and cryospheric sciences, and to pay attention to the complex interactions between these two vulnerable components. The International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences IAMAS and the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences IACS, both Associations of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics IUGG, welcome you to the Davos Atmosphere and Cryosphere Assembly DACA-13 in Switzerland in July 2013.

The conference will bring together some 1’200 scientists from both fields to present and discuss the latest research in separate or joint sessions. A large variety of topics will be covered, from ice-sheet modelling to extreme climate events, from solar UV radiation to avalanche formation and permafrost – be sure to contribute and benefit from the possibility to extend your network and meet excellent scientists from a wide range of fields.

DACA-13 will be held from July 8 – 12 in the mountain resort of Davos, where the exciting outdoors join culture, lifestyle and an invigorating climate in the middle of the magnificent alpine landscape.
