cc: Peter Lemke , k.briffa@uea.ac.uk, olgasolomina date: Wed, 14 Dec 2005 19:20:09 +0100 (MET) from: Georg Kaser subject: IPCC AR4 to: Hans Oerlemans Dear Hans, at the IPCC Lead Author meeting taking presently place in Christchurch, NZ, it was suggested that I ask you to provide us with curves such as in your Science paper but showing the glacier retraet only instead of the reconstructed temperature. The retreat curves would fit into the Chapter 4.5 on "Observations: Changes in Glaciers and ice Caps". It was agreed that the temperature curve such as published will be handled by the Palaeoclimate team in Chapter 6. I would be glad if you could also send me the numbers in order to allow me to adapt the figure layout to the general Chapter design. If it makes it easier for you, you can also provide me with the numbers only and I can compile the respective graph. I hope this does not cause to much work for you and I look forward to keep in touch. I will be visiting some of the NZ glaciers together with Peter Lemke next week and will be back in Karthaus for Christmas. Best wishes and looking forward to see you in Obergurgl, Georg Georg Kaser ------------------------------------------------- Institut fuer Geographie Innrain 52 A-6020 INNSBRUCK AUSTRIA Tel: ++43 512 507 5407 Fax: ++43 512 507 2895 http://meteo9.uibk.ac.at/IceClim/CRYO/cryo_a.html
