Dear colleagues,
In view of the upcoming deadline for abstract submission, we would like to draw your attention to the session "Glaciers and Ice Sheet Mass Balance and their relation to Sea Level " at the SCAR Open Science Conference in New Zealand, August 25-28th, 2014 in Auckland.
The deadline for abstracts submissions is Friday 14th February, 2014, at http://www.scar2014.com/call-for-abstracts/
Session 3: Glaciers and Ice Sheet Mass Balance and their relation to Sea Level
Convenors: Frank Pattyn (Belgium) and Francisco Navarro (Spain)
This session is intended to attract a broad range of contributions aimed to improve our understanding of the contribution of glaciers and ice-sheets to sea level rise, considering both observations and modelling. Themes to be explored include, but are not limited to: advances in ice-sheet mass change observations from remote sensing; quantifying the uncertainties of the various remote sensing techniques; understanding and resolving the current discrepancies among the estimates by different techniques; ground-truthing of remote sensing observations; advances in glacial isostatic adjustment modelling and observations; advances on modelling the contributions of glaciers and ice-sheets to sea level changes; glacier and ice-sheet mass exchanges with the atmosphere and the oceans; hydrological aspects and the role of subglacial processes; incorporating geological constraints into the models; projected sea-level rise from glacier and ice-cap wastage; scaling analyses linking changes in glacier surface area to changes in ice volume; etc.
