4th International GLORIA Meeting: Workshop on planning the GLORIA reinvestigation process

Purpose and aims

In summer 2001, the first eighteen GLORIA target regions were installed. The first monitoring cycle is approaching.
Recent experiences from the GLORIA master site Schrankogel/Austria in 2004 (ten years after its establishing) showed that:
  • the first monitoring cycle of the target regions should be conducted not earlier than 2008, because defining a sufficiently long time interval for the monitoring reinvestigation appears to be crucial; and
  • the Multi-Summit protocol needs some additional adjustments to support an effective monitoring process.
Such adjustments are intended to be discussed along with field trials and training on Hochschwab.

Schiestlhaus, 2156 m a.s.l., Hochschwab, Austria

The Schiestlhaus mountain hut, built up in 2005 replacing an old building from the 19th century, is a so-called "Passiv-Energie-Haus", a showcase of modern eco-technology under harsh mountain conditions.
Located amidst the GLORIA target region Hochschwab, with a one-minute walk to typical alpine vegetation, it offers perfect opportunities for the workshop purposes. However, it is a remote mountain hut with limited space, allowing for a maximum of 40 persons for our group.
Ascent to Schiestlhaus is magnificent but exhausting (about 1000 m in altitude, 3 hours, on a small and steep path).
Good and warm mountain equipment is required as snowstorms may occur also in summer.
