Dear all,
We would like to draw your attention to the session "CR1.2 Rapid changes in sea ice: processes and implications" at the forthcoming EGU meeting in Vienna, 12-17th April 2015.
We encourage abstract submissions regarding all aspects of sea ice science and sea ice-climate interactions, including snow and sea ice thermodynamics and dynamics, sea ice-atmosphere and sea ice-ocean interactions, sea ice biological and chemical processes, and sea ice models.
For further information and a link to the abstract submission visit:

The deadline for abstract submission is 13:00 CET this Wednesday 7th January 2015.
Thanks,
Andrew Wells
on behalf of the conveners
Session details:
** CR1.2 Rapid changes in sea ice: processes and implications **
Convener: Daniel Feltham Co-Conveners: Andrew Wells, Daniela Flocco
In 2012 the Arctic summer sea ice extent was the lowest in satellite history, exceeding the previous low in 2007. In fact, the period 2007 to 2012 saw the six lowest Arctic summer sea ice extents in the continuous satellite history. While the changes in the Southern Ocean sea ice cover have not been so dramatic, there has been a redistribution of sea ice and a slight net increase in recent years.
The scientific community is investing considerable effort in organising our current knowledge of the physical and biogeochemical properties of sea ice, exploring poorly understood sea ice processes, and forecasting future changes of the sea ice cover.
In this session, we invite contributions regarding all aspects of sea ice science and sea ice-climate interactions, including snow and sea ice thermodynamics and dynamics, sea ice-atmosphere and sea ice-ocean interactions, sea ice biological and chemical processes, and sea ice models. A focus on emerging processes and implications is particularly welcome.
