Eleven people from four different countries (France, Italy, Peru, Switzerland) attended the pre-workshop on 20 March 2019 in Chambéry, France. Whereas the entire group was experienced in mountain permafrost studies, not all of the participants had already practiced the compilation of a rock glacier inventory. 

The aim of the meeting was to pave the way for the forthcoming Workshop I of the IPA Action Group, to be held in September 2019, by exploring the feasibility of defining widely agreed upon standard guidelines for inventorying rock glaciers, including information on the activity rate (Task 1 of the Action Group initiative).
