Barry Bishop 21.1 10 **WoRIS-Albedo** experiment consists of six stations forming a system and located close to each other. Each station contains a plexi-glass box with a block of glacial ice laying on a net located inside the box and plates characterized by different albedo that are placed on the top of the ice. The following parameters will be measured during the experiment:

Rene Allerstorfer 2.1 12 * The level of water within the lowest part of the plexi-glass box (below the net) with a probe consisting of a straw floating on a low-density foam.
13 * Temperature of the surface of plates (characterized by different albedo) and adhering ice with a usage of a thermal camera.
14 * Morphology of the ice surface surrounding each plate with a photographic documentation.

17 **WoRIS-Emissivity** consists of a single station consisting of four aluminium rollers (characterized by different surface emissivity) and a single reference stick. The following parameters will be measured during the experiment
18
19 * Temperature of the aluminium rollers (four times a day).
20 * Interaction between ice and aluminium rollers.

22 All data will be collected as photos (thermal and normal camera).

25
Rene Allerstorfer 2.1 26 WoRIS is a field experiment designed to determine influence of albedo and emissivity of the objects laying on the surface of glacier on the rate of its melting, and weathering of basaltic dust placed on the surface of the glacier.
