Call for Colleagues: Mongolian ice-sheets

Dear Colleagues,
We are based in Mongolia and would like to share with you some novel research we are undertaking.
We are investigating ice shields that form in winter, and are called naleds (Russian) = aufeis (German) = taryn (Yakutian) = icing (English). We have detected thousands in Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, around Beijing, Tibet and across parts of Central Asia. Many are far from permafrost and are even found in scorching hot deserts provided the winters are severe enough to freeze water easily.
