--------------------

The National Research Council's Polar Research Board (PRB) is pleased to announce a call for abstracts for Session GC30, "Links Between Rapid Arctic Change and Mid-Latitude Weather Patterns". The session will be convened at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, 3-7 December 2012, in San Francisco, California.

Recent changes in the Arctic are among the most striking on Earth. Since the 1980s, summer sea ice has diminished, snow on high-latitude land has melted earlier in spring, and coastal permafrost temperatures have warmed. These changes have altered the energy exchange between the surface and atmosphere, causing large-scale air temperature anomalies twice the global average. These changes are expected to affect weather patterns in both the Arctic and mid-latitudes, and may have played a role in the increased frequency of extreme weather events.

This session invites abstracts on model simulations or observations that elucidate the mechanisms by which northern hemisphere atmospheric circulation is responding to Arctic change.

The abstract submission deadline is Wednesday, 8 August 2012, at 11:59 pm Eastern Daylight Time. To submit an abstract, you must enter the first author's current AGU member ID and password. Please go to: http://agu-fm12.abstractcentral.com/ for more information.

[CRYOLIST] ART-APECS Workshop (Sopot, Poland, 23-26 October 2012)

Dear colleagues,

I would like to remind you that registration is now open for the Arctic in Rapid Transition (ART) Science Workshop to be held at the Institute of Oceanology in Sopot, Poland, from 23-26 October 2012: http://tinyurl.com/Sopot2012

The ART workshop will address the challenge of integrating modelling and observations in order to identify linkages between physical forcings and biogeochemical processes that are key to the ecosystem functioning of the Arctic Ocean. Discussions and presentations will revolve around the the "past-present-future" axis of ART, meaning that both paleo- and modern ecosystems will be thematically addressed.

The workshop is jointly organized with APECS and will propose training sessions on theoretical/practical aspects of marine sciences, as well as plenary talks and breakout sessions to initiate the writing of collaborative papers lead by both early career and senior scientists.

The ART-APECS Workshop is open to any scientists who share a common interest in improving our understanding and developing our projective capacity of the causes and implications of changing physical conditions on the Arctic marine ecosystems on multiple time-scales. Limited funding is available.

More information on the preliminary agenda, venue, preliminary list of invited speakers, as well as the registration form can be found on our webpage: http://www.iarc.uaf.edu/ART/workshops/2012/october

Registration deadline: 20 July 2012

For further information, do not hesitate to contact me or another member of the organizing committee.

Do not hesitate to advertise the workshop among your students and colleagues!

Looking forward to seeing you in Sopot!

[CRYOLIST] Out-of-context news report about our recent publication

Just to avoid any confusion about misleading news articles citing me saying that Antarctic ice shelves would not be melting:

Recently we published a paper about oceanographic measurements below the Fimbul Ice Shelf in eastern Antarctica: http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2012/2012GL051012.shtml

The AGU media department made a news release about the paper, reporting that we find (amongst other things) less basal melting below the Fimbul than ocean models were suggesting: http://www.agu.org/news/press/pr_archives/2012/2012-31.shtml

This is a good thing, because our data shows us how the ocean transports towards the ice shelf, which will helps us to improve the models. The bad thing is, that there is always a jerkhead out there who cannot read, and one of them put together the following:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/06/25/antarctic_ice_not_melting/
And others quickly picked it up for their mission.

Thanks to Jonathan Lilly, we timely wrote an "official" answer/ explanation for the requests we got from numerous journalists:
http://www.open-ocean.org/gallery/show/107

Based on the original news release, one may have anticipated this development and for a PhD student like me, this is definitely a "lesson learned" experience. Yet, I do think that our community should be able to openly deal with the results that cannot directly be used to argue that the water will soon be up to our necks. From the evidence, our case is clear anyways and sometimes it may be useful to show the public that we actually are doing sound science by also questioning the accepted paradigms, whereas all kinds of internal censorship would just make us vulnerable to our critics. At least this is what they tell us to do in the science-ethics courses at grad-school...

Best regards and my apologizes to all of you who may be troubled by the enthusiastic skeptics that may hooked up on this.

[CRYOLIST] 2-year Postdoctoral position(s) at the Technical University of Madrid, Spain

The Numerical Simulation Group on Engineering and Sciences (GSNCI), Technical University of Madrid (http://www.krios-hyperion.com/), a research group focused on ground-penetrating radar applications to glaciology, numerical modelling of glacier dynamics, and glacier mass balance studies, invites applications for a 2-yr postdoctoral position, with the details below.

Research theme: Three alternative themes are available:

· Numerical modelling of tidewater calving glacier dynamics integrated with regional climate modelling and mass balance modelling

· Rheological relationships for temperate ice – numerical modelling aspects

· Rheological relationships for temperate ice – ground penetrating radar aspects

Required background: ground-penetrating radar and/or numerical modelling and/or regional climate modelling and/or mass balance modelling

Project descriptions:

Numerical modelling of tidewater calving glacier dynamics integrated with regional climate modelling and mass balance modelling:

The focus of the project is the numerical modelling of the dynamics of tidewater glaciers, using a full-Stokes model incorporating a crevasse-penetration-depth calving law (though other types of calving laws could be considered). It is known that water filling the crevasses contributes to deepen the crevasses, and thus favours calving. As most of this water stems from surface melting, modelling of melt at the glacier surface can provide valuable information about the amount of available water. In turn, the modelling of melt strongly depends on the available meteorological data. Since the data available from in-situ automatic weather stations (AWS) or neighbouring manned meteorological station is usually scarce, it is planned to use regional climate modelling to provide detailed meteorological fields. In particular, the Weather Research & Forecasting (WRF) model will be used.

This is a co-operative project that will be carried out by our research group in collaboration with Prof. Dieter Scherer, from the Technical University o Berlin, and Prof. Christoph Schneider and Dr. Marco Möller, from the University of Aachen. Short periods of stay in Germany along the project are expected.

Rheological relationships for temperate ice:

The goal of the project is to improve the description of the rheology of temperate ice and its implementation into numerical models of glacier dynamics. Numerical and theoretical challenges to face range from adequate meshes for incorporating temperate ice bodies into a polythermal environment at low cost, the incorporation of the enthalpy balance equation, as well as boundary conditions for the enthalpy balance equation to a new constitutive relation, specifically a new rate factor, for temperate ice. Observational aspects are focussed on the large-scale estimation of the water content of temperate ice bodies, as well as the spatial and temporal scale of its variation. This involves the determination of the water content of temperate ice from the velocity of the radar wave, which depends on the permittivity of a three-component mixture of ice, air and water.

This is a co-operative project that will be carried out by our research group in collaboration with Prof. Angelika Humbert and Dr. Martin Rückamp, from the Alfred Wegener Institute/University of Hamburg. Short periods of stay in Germany along the project are expected.

Suitable expertise and skills

Candidates should have research experience and hold a Ph.D. related to glaciology, geophysics or a closely related branch of Physics, Mathematics or Earth Sciences. It is not necessary that the candidate holds the PhD at application time, provided that she/he has scheduled the PhD defence before the start of the postdoc contract.

The candidate is expected to provide her/his expertise in at least one of the main research fields involved (numerical modelling, ground-penetrating radar –including radar data processing–, regional climate modelling and mass balance modelling), though a combination of skills in any of these fields would be most valued. GIS and remote sensing skills will also be valued. Skills in publishing in international scientific journals are expected.

The successful applicant will have the opportunity to participate in polar fieldwork.

General

The salary will be according to the B2 contract category of the Technical University of Madrid (27,170.40 Euro/year gross salary) during the first year of contract, and B1 category (28,359.00 Euro/year gross salary) during the second half year. This is a typical postdoc salary in Spain, where the cost of living is lower as compared to most western and northern European countries. Typical personal tax income + social security deductions for such salary levels is or the order of 25%.

Further inquiries about the position may be directed to the leader of the research group, Dr. Francisco Navarro, e-mail: francisco.navarro@upm.es, phone: +34 914533565.

The application deadline is 30^th September 2012, though earlier applications are strongly encouraged. The application should be sent by e-mail to francisco.navarro@upm.es, stating ‘Application to Postdoc position’ in the subject field. The application should include a CV, a publication list, details of the relevant qualifications and experience, and names and contact data of two persons who may act as reference.

The starting date of the contract should be, in principle, between 1^st October 2012 and 1^st January 2013. However, if a suitable candidate is found at an earlier time, an earlier starting date could be negotiated.

C039: THE CRYOSPHERE AND SEASONAL TO DECADAL PREDICTION
Sponsor:Cryosphere (C)
Co-Sponsor(s):Global Environmental Change (GC)
Conveners:
? Paul J Kushner
? Seok Woo Son
? Mark G Flanner
? Marika M Holland

This session solicits current research on prediction of the cryosphere
from seasonal to decadal timescales. The session considers 1) prediction
of cryospheric variables like sea ice and seasonal snow cover and 2)
what improved cryospheric prediction means for regional and global
climate prediction. For 1), papers are sought that discuss statistical
relationships as well as the dynamical role of accurate initialization
and representation of polar Earth System processes (sea ice, polar
ocean, seasonal snow cover, atmosphere, etc.). For 2), papers are sought
on cryospheric prediction in the context of extratropical weather
systems, teleconnected modes coupled to cryospheric variability, and
cryospheric feedbacks that affect global climate.

Dear Cryolisters,
We would like to highlight the following cryosphere focussed session to be held at the AGU 2012 Fall meeting:
CO34: Reconstructing ice-sheet behavior on millennial timescales: Integrating high resolution geological data with model simulations
This session focuses on the comparison and integration of high-resolution numerical ice-sheet models and detailed terrestrial and marine geological data sets, to better resolve the geometry, volume and ice dynamical characteristics of the Earth?s ice sheets. Such reconstructions provide critical benchmarks for ice sheet and climate models and reduce uncertainty in predictions of the response of modern ice sheets (and thus sea level) to climate change. An integrated Earth systems approach is critical to achieve this. It is only by combining high-resolution modelling with comprehensive, highly precise empirical paleo-ice sheet constraints that a full understanding of the mechanisms of past change can be determined, and predictions for the future made with greater confidence.
In light of ongoing developments in the fields of high-resolution ice sheet modelling, allied with the increasing precision of geophysical and geochronological tools with which to reconstruct ice sheet change, we invite submissions from groups and individuals addressing data / model comparisons of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and paleo ice sheets during major climate transitions such as those recorded after the Last Glacial Maximum and earlier rapid climate transitions. We also encourage submissions from groups and individuals using theoretical and conceptual modelling studies that explicitly incorporate field data (e.g. conventional terrestrial and marine radiocarbon, multiple cosmogenic nuclides as well as marine geophysical data and glacio isostatic adjustment)
AGU Abstract
Reconstructing the pattern, timing & rate of decay of Earth?s contemporary and paleo ice sheets during periods of rapid climate change allows us to assess their sensitivity to environmental forcings beyond our short observational window. An integrated Earth systems approach is critical to achieve this & reduce uncertainty in predictions of the response of modern ice sheets (and thus sea level) to future change. This session focuses on the comparison and integration of high-resolution numerical ice-sheet models & detailed terrestrial and marine geological data sets, to better resolve the geometry, volume & ice dynamical characteristics of the Earth?s ice sheets.
Look forward to see you at fall AGU meeting.

APECS is hosting a career development panel at the IGS Symposium on Glaciers and Ice Sheets in a warming climate in Fairbanks, Alaska and YOU are invited!

Have you ever wondered how best to find your next job or your first post-doc after your PhD? Or have you ever wondered how to balance a successful career in polar and cryospheric research with having a family?

Well now is your opportunity to find out...

Panelists include Suzanne Bevan, of Swansea University, Erin Pettit of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Ross Powell of Northern Illinois University, and Ian Willis of Cambridge University. Each panel member will give a short overview of their career to date and then there will be a discussion session with the opportunity for all attendees to ask questions of our panelists on all matters pertaining to building a successful career in polar or cryospheric research.

The panel discussion will take place on Monday, 25 June 2012 from 5:30-6:30 PM in the Wood Center Ballroom on the University of Alaska Fairbanks Campus - the main presentation hall for the IGS conference. Attendance is open to anyone attending the meeting, but especially graduate students/postgraduate researchers, post-docs and other early career scientists. Sadly, we don't have a budget for any refreshments during the panel but we will be going for drinks, and possibly dinner, at a venue nearby after the session.

More details are available online: http://apecs.is/apecs-meetings-a-events/apecs-meetings-a-events/details/645-planning-your-future-in-polar-a-cryospheric-research

Hope to see you all there,

[CRYOLIST] Postdoctoral research position in glacial isostatic adjustment at the Icelandic Meteorological Office / Institute of Earth Sciences of the University of Iceland

Applications are invited for a two year position at the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) in collaboration with the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Iceland (IES):

Postdoctoral research position in glacial isostatic adjustment.

The candidate will join the Nordic Centre of Excellence SVALI (http://www.ncoe-svali.org, supported by the Nordic Top-level Research Initiative, see below) and participate in joint efforts involving collection and interpretation of data, exploration of glaciological processes, development of Earth Systems Models and predicting future evolution of glaciers. The position will be one of 15–20 SVALI PhD student and PostDoc positions located at Nordic research institutes and universities.

The objective of the postdoctoral project is to develop detailed numerical models of glacial isostatic adjustment in Iceland. In particular, new estimates of current surface deformation (from GPS and InSAR measurements), and new observations and simulations of ice volume changes will be used to refine numerical models of crustal structure and mantle dynamics in Iceland. In addition, the project aims to include results from ongoing work including: (i) extention of glaciation history back to the Little Ice Age; (ii) extraction of uplift rates from observations of sea-level; and (iii) analysis of gravity changes due to ice-mass variations.

The SVALI project involves studies of glaciers in the N-Atlantic area, including Greenland and Svalbard, as well as Iceland. The postdoctoral fellow will collaborate closely with other SVALI partners, and participate in summer schools and workshops organized by SVALI team members.

Applicants should have: (i) a PhD degree in geophysics, or related fields at the time of appointment (fall 2012); (ii) a good background in physics and mathematical analysis; (iii) strong computer programming skills (Unix/Linux based). Good communication skills and an ability to write scientific papers are essential.

The position will be based at the Icelandic Meteorological Office and the research will be conducted in close collaboration with scientists at the Institute of Earth Sciences, as well as other members of the SVALI group. The successful applicant is expected to start in the fall of 2012. The starting time may be negotiated with the successful applicant depending on circumstances.

The deadline for application is 15 August 2012.

Salary is according to the appropriate civil service level.

Applications and accompanying documents should preferably be submitted in electronic form by e-mail to borgar@vedur.is. Applicants should send a CV and a covering letter, which should include the names and contact information of two individuals willing to supply letters of reference. Applications and accompanying documents that are not submitted in electronic form must be sent in duplicate to the Icelandic Meteorological Office, Bústaðavegur 7–9, IS-150 Reykjavík, Iceland. All applications will be answered and applicants will be informed about the appointment when a decision has been made.

For further information contact: Tómas Jóhannesson, Geophysicist at the Icelandic Meteorological Office (tj@vedur.is, tel. +354-522-6000), Jórunn Harðardóttir, Managing Director of Processing and Research (jorunn@vedur.is, tel. +354-522-6000), Borgar Ævar Axelsson, Human Resources Manager (borgar@vedur.is, tel.+354-522-6000), and Freysteinn Sigmundsson, Research Scientist, Institute of Earth Sciences of the University of Iceland (fs@hi.is, tel. +354-525-4491).

The Top-level Research Initiative and SVALI

The position is announced as a part of the project "Stability and Variations of Arctic Land Ice" (SVALI) under the Top-level Research Initiative (TRI, http://www.toppforskningsinitiativet.org), which is a major Nordic collaborative venture for studies of climate, energy and the environment. SVALI is a Nordic Centre of Excellence within the TRI sub-programme "Interaction between Climate Change and the Cryosphere" (ICCC), which aims to improve our understanding of stability, variations and dynamics of the cryosphere.

The overall aims of SVALI are: to quantify the current and future melt-rate of land-based ice in the Arctic and North-Atlantic region, to assess the consequences of decreasing land ice volume on sea level and ocean circulation, and to assess the societal consequences of current and future glacier variations. SVALI positions are announced internationally by open calls. An important element of the TRI programme is to enhance the mobility of scientists within the Nordic countries and internationally. When candidates are regarded as having similar scientific qualifications, the candidate from a country different than the institution making the call will be given priority.

Greetings Cryolist Colleagues:

We are pleased to announce the following Global Environmental Change
session at the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting:

"Water Supply in Glacierized Mountain Watersheds - Monitoring Hydrological
Transitions and Assessing Vulnerability in a Changing Climate" (GC059)

Mountain glaciers provide essential water supplies to downstream
biophysical and human systems. Buffering against precipitation variability,
such glaciers help ensure a steady supply of water during otherwise dry
conditions. As mountain glaciers respond to a changing climate, the
potential hydrological consequences encompass topics as varied as altered
biodiversity, natural hazards vulnerability, and social resilience. This
session aims to integrate research into the myriad implications of these
glacier-related hydrological changes and we welcome contributions that
advance our knowledge of the challenges facing mountain watersheds
worldwide.

Session Hosts:

Jeff La Frenierre, Ohio State University (la-frenierre.1@osu.edu)
Richard Armstrong, University of Colorado (rlax@nsidc.org)
Bryan Mark, Ohio State University-Byrd Polar Rsrch Ctr (mark.9@osu.edu)
Daene Mckinney, University of Texas at Austin (daene@aol.com)

We hope that you will consider submitting an abstract to this session.

Regards,

Jeff La Frenierre, Richard Armstrong, Bryan Mark and Daene Mckinney
