Resumé
On November 28th and 29th 1994 the 'Fifth Workshop on Mass Balance and Related Topics of the Greenland Ice Sheet' was held at the Institute für Meteorologie und Geophysik of the University of Innsbruck, Austria. The workshop was attended by 16 participants presenting papers, and some guests.
The workshops were originally initiated as a forum for discussing recent plans, experiences and results on mass and energy balance studies carried out in Greenland which, in the context of climatic changes, developed into a prospective field of interest. Some other workshops dealing with similar topics unfortunately happened to be held within the same time frame this year, resulting in a decreased number of participants when compared with the last workshop. In spite of this it was generally felt that the original spirit is still alive and well within our scientific community.
The presentations succeeded in covering the most actual topics within the framework of the workshop focusing on experimental and modelling approaches towards understanding and predicting the mass and/or energy budget of the Greenland ice cap. Exchange of information about ongoing and planned projects was stimulated by the presentations and it was generally agreed, that the informal nature experienced during this workshop should also be maintained in the future.
Like the earlier workshops this one gave a strong impression of ongoing progress within the various fields of interest which is likely to positively affect the next meeting. It was agreed to hold the forthcoming 'Sixth Workshop on Mass Balance and Related Topics of the Greenland Ice Sheet' in Copenhagen, January 1996.
