Tuesday February 11th @ 11am EST (4pm GMT)
Ice-Ocean Interactions Part 1: Sea ice in the Arctic
Webinar ID: 290874785
Webinar registration: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/290874785
Panelist: Dr. Geli Renner (angelika.renner@npolar.no)
Dr. Angelika Renner from the Norwegian Polar Institute will provide an overview of sea ice-ocean interactions, with a focus on sea ice in the Arctic. A more detailed presentation of the drivers of turbulent heat flux towards Arctic sea ice and the impacts of sea ice cover on the upper ocean will follow the overview.
Wednesday February 12th @ 11am EST (4pm GMT)
Ice-Ocean Interactions Part 2: Marine-terminating Glaciers
Webinar ID: 331483992
Webinar registration: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/331483992
Panelist: Dr. Gordon Hamilton (gordon.hamilton@maine.edu)
Dr. Gordon Hamilton from the University of Maine will provide an overview of marine-terminating glaciers and explain why these glaciers are incredibly sensitive to changing ocean properties. The presentation will focus on research performed at the margins of the Greenland Ice Sheet, where the majority of the research on glacier ice-ocean interactions has been executed.
Friday February 14th @ 11am EST (4pm GMT)
Ice-Ocean Interactions Part 3: Glacial Fjords
Webinar ID: 389431569
Webinar registration: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/389431569
Panelist: Dave Sutherland (dsuth@uoregon.edu)
Dr. David Sutherland from the University of Oregon will provide an overview of ice-ocean interactions in glacial fjords. A general introduction of glacial fjords will be presented, followed by more detailed information on fjord circulation and how changes in fjord circulation can impact marine-terminating glaciers.
New APECS Webpage on Ice-Ocean Interactions
The new Ice-Ocean Interactions webpage (http://apecs.is/research-sp-359857820/areas-of-research/geosciences/iceocean) contains basic background information on glacier ice- and sea ice-ocean interactions, abstracts and citation information for relevant journal articles, and hyperlinks to journals that frequently publish ice-ocean interaction articles. Video recordings of the three webinars described below will be added to the research feature content by the end of February and relevant posters will be added over time.If you would like to feature one of your posters on ice-ocean interactions on the new webpage, please submit a virtual copy of your poster by following the instructions found at http://apecs.is/research/virtual-poster-session/submit-your-poster. After submitting your poster, please send an email with the subject 'submission of APECS ice-ocean poster' to Ellyn Enderlin (ellyn.enderlin@gmail.com) so that a direct link to your poster can be included on the Ice-Ocean Interactions webpage.
