[CRYOLIST] PhD Position Physical Oceanography - University Bremen, Germany

Energy transfers in gravity plumes

For the project “Energy transfers in gravity plumes” within the DFG-funded collaborative research center TRR 181 “Energy transfers in Atmosphere and Ocean", University of Bremen invites applications for a

PhD Position physical oceanography

 The employment is fixed-term and governed by the Act of Academic Fixed-Term Contract, §2 I (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz – WissZeitVG). Therefore, candidates may only be considered for appointment if they still have the respective qualification periods available in accordance with § 2 (1) WissZeitVG.

Motivation: Dense gravity plumes play a major role in both the ventilation of the deep ocean and the global ocean circulation. Often they are associated with rapid water mass modification due to vigorous mixing and entrainment of ambient water. The overflow plume immediately downstream of Denmark Strait is a prototype example for the occurrence of such processes. The project aims at understanding the pathways and processes by which energy is transferred from the mesoscale eddy field to dissipative turbulent scales within this plume. Using observational and numerical modelling efforts we will identify locations of entrainment hot spots, physical processes involved, plume-eddy and plume-topography interaction driving energy transfer across the scales, gravity wave dissipation, vertical current shear.

Framework: This project represents a collaboration between the Institut für Meereskunde (IfM) at the University of Hamburg, the Alfred-Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) and MARUM at Bremen University. Details about the TRR 181 are available at www.trr-energytransfers.de.

Project description: You will focus your research on (i) the interaction of the overflow plume with transient eddies associated with the entrainment of ambient waters and (ii) turbulent mixing arising from plume-topography interaction. The work is based on both existing mooring records and new measurements to be conducted during the project. Informed by the observations in the Denmark Strait overflow plume, you will analyse outputs from idealized model configurations with very high resolution (grid spacing less than 50-100 m) and non-hydrostatic dynamics and assess the amount of mixing associated with both passing eddies and flow-topography interactions.

We are searching for an enthusiastic and committed researcher with a keen interest in ocean observations and ocean dynamics. You will be employed by Bremen University and will be based in the Physical Oceanography group at AWI in Bremerhaven, working under the supervision Prof. Dr Torsten Kanzow (AWI / Bremen University), Dr Martin Losch (AWI) and Dr Kerstin Jochumsen (Hamburg University). As a PhD student you will be enrolled at the Department of Physics, University of Bremen. Bremen University offers several postgraduate frameworks (GLOMAR, ArcTrain) with a large variety of (optional) courses and a vibrant PhD community.

Requirements:

• Completed MSc or equivalent in physical oceanography, meteorology, physics, applied mathematics or related fields
• Advanced programming skills (MATLAB); experience with observation-based data sets is of advantage
• Interest in independent research, data analysis, presentation and publication of scientific results
• Applicants should have excellent English skills and enjoy working in an international and interdisciplinary team.

The position is for a fixed term of 3 years. It is funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG). The starting date is January 1st, 2017. Salary corresponds to 2/3 TV-L E13.
Applicants should submit under the reference number A197/16 their letter of motivation, a CV including copies of certificates, a publication list if applicable, and contact information of two referees. Documents. The call is open until the position is filled. The review of applications will commence on October 1st 2016.

As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female employees in science, women are particularly encouraged to apply. In case of equal personal aptitudes and qualification priority will be given to disables persons. The University of Bremen explicitly invites persons with migration background to apply.
Disabled persons with the same professional and personal qualifications will be given preference.

Arctic Change and Its Influence on Mid-Latitude Climate and Weather

​ Workshop​

February 1-3, 2017

Washington, DC

The Arctic has warmed more than twice as fast as the global average, experienced rapid loss of sea ice, and collapse of warm season snow cover. These profound changes to the Arctic system have coincided with a period of ostensibly more frequent events of extreme weather across the mid-latitudes, including extreme heat and rainfall events and recent severe winters. 

Join us in this workshop to explore the possible links between Arctic change and mid-latitude weather

​ and climate​

that has spurred a rush of new observational and modeling studies.

The deadline to apply and submit an abstract is August 31. 

Learn more here

The workshop is co-sponsored by US CLIVAR, the NSF Arctic Natural Sciences Program, and the WWRP Polar Prediction Project.

[CRYOLIST] Mount Everest Foundation - Funding for scientific research in mountain regions

Mount Everest Foundation - Funding for scientific research in mountain regions

The Mount Everest Foundation is a registered charity, set up following the first ascent of Everest in 1953, and initially financed from the surplus funds and subsequent royalties resulting from that expedition. The aims of the Foundation are to encourage and support expeditions exploring mountain regions, and both education and research pertaining to a wide range of subjects in mountain areas, including geography, glaciology and the effects of altitude. Normally, the MEF will only support expeditions where the majority of members come from Great Britain or New Zealand (although the MEF does not have enough funding to make up for Brexit sorry.....).

The Screening Committee meets to consider applications twice a year - in November and March. The closing dates for receipt of completed forms are 30th September and 31st January.

We welcome applications for support for scientific work, which have to some extent been underrepresented in recent awards, or applications to provide support for scientists wishing to undertake first ascents, major new routes, or exploration in little-explored or previously inaccessible areas where they may already be (or want to) do fieldwork.

Awards in the past have varied from <£1000 to £3500, with the MEF keen to provide additional supporting funds rather than the entire cost of a project. Awards do not include staff time, overheads etc, they are to support the direct costs of undertaking fieldwork.
For further guidance on the application process, previously supported expedition reports, and the latest versions of application forms please visit: http://www.mef.org.uk/

[CRYOLIST] Ice Flows game launch at SCAR Open Science Conference

Hi all,

The educational game – “Ice Flows” is being officially launched today at the SCAR Open Science Conference in Kuala Lumpur.  You can play it at: http://www.iceflowsgame.com or download it from the App Store & Google Play store and play on your phone or tablet.

 

The game has been developed in collaboration with games developers Inhouse Visuals and Questionable Quality, and the British Antarctic Survey, who are leading the NERC research project which it was funded as part of - ‘Ice shelves in a warming world’, investigating the Filchner Ice Shelf system in Antarctica.

 

In addition to the game levels the game also includes a “tutorial” level without the game aspects which can be used in outreach talks to help explain how ice sheets work.

 

If you use this game in any outreach, please let me know how it went, who it was with etc, so I can get a feel for what it gets used for.  If you download it from one of the app stores, please give it a (good!) rating and a review to promote it in the store.

 

Also, please get in touch if you would like to discuss adding further processes, regions, translations and any other ideas for development.

 

Thanks,

Anne

[CRYOLIST] 2016 Sea Ice Outlook - August Report Available

2016 Sea Ice Outlook
August Report Available
Sea Ice Prediction Network (SIPN)
Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH)

The report is available at:
http://www.arcus.org/sipn/sea-ice-outlook/2016/august

For more information, please contact:
Betsy Turner-Bogren, ARCUS
Email: betsy@arcus.org

--------------------
The August report for the 2016 Sea Ice Outlook (SIO) is now available. The
SIO is an activity of the Sea Ice Prediction Network project (SIPN,
http://www.arcus.org/sipn) as a contribution to the Study of
Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH,http://www.arcus.org/search-program).

The goal of the SIO is to improve Arctic sea ice prediction on seasonal
time-scales. This month's report was developed by lead author Jim
Overland (NOAA) with contributions from the rest of the SIPN Leadership
Team (https://www.arcus.org/sipn/leadership).

Organizers thank all who contributed to the 40 Outlooks received for
this report, which includes 39 pan-Arctic outlooks (3 of which also
provided Alaska-regional outlooks), and one additional regional-only
outlook. Five contributions included gridded fields. The median
pan-Arctic Outlook value for September 2016 sea ice extent is 4.4
million square kilometers with quartiles of 4.2 and 4.7 million square
kilometers. Contributions are based on a range of methods: statistical,
dynamical models, mixed methods, estimates based on trends, and two
informal polls.

This month's report also includes:

- Discussion about dynamical model contributions and their variance;
- Discussion on current conditions, recent atmospheric conditions, and
probability forecasts for late summer meteorological conditions;
- Discussion on sea ice conditions in the Alaska sector as well as the
Outlooks that focused on that region;
- Key statements from each individual Outlook; and
- Links to view or download individual contributions.

The complete report is available at:
http://www.arcus.org/sipn/sea-ice-outlook/2016/august.

This is the third monthly SIO for the 2016 season. A webinar to discuss
the 2016 melt season is planned for early October, details will be
announced via ArcticInfo and the SIPN mailing list:
http://www.arcus.org/sipn/mailing-list.

[CRYOLIST] REMINDER: Call for Registration - Sea Ice Prediction Network Webinar

REMINDER: The Sea Ice Prediction Network (SIPN) announces
a call for registration for an open webinar.

Title: Uncertainty in Satellite-Derived Sea Ice Extent Estimates

Speaker: Walt Meier, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

Date: Tuesday, 23 August 2016

Time: 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. AKDT
(11:00 a.m.to 12:00 p.m. PDT, 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. MDT,
1:00-2:00 p.m. CDT, and 2:00-3:00 p.m. EDT)

We request that all participants pre-register to join any SIPN webinar.
Anyone with an e-mail address can register, and participation is free.

To register for this webinar, go to:
https://www.arcus.org/sipn/meetings/webinars/register.

This webinar is designed for the sea ice research community and others
interested in information about the uncertainty in sea ice extent
estimates from remotely-sensed data. While this is an open event,
attendees should be aware that the discussions will largely be of a
technical nature. The speaker will be Walt Meier, NASA Goddard Space
Flight Center.

Walt Meier is a research scientist at the NASA Goddard Space Flight
Center Cryospheric Sciences Laboratory. His research focuses on remote
sensing of sea ice, development of new sea ice products and sea ice
climate data records, and analyzing changes in the Arctic sea ice cover.
He has been principal investigator on a project to create a sea ice
climate data record.

Meier's presentation will focus on uncertainty in sea ice extent
estimates from remotely-sensed data. Arctic sea ice extent estimates
from remote sensing data (e.g., passive microwave sensors like Advanced
Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth Observing System [AMSR-E] and
others) are widely used to project sea ice trends, initialize models,
and evaluate model forecasts. As with all kinds of remote observations,
this method of estimating sea ice extent has strengths and weaknesses
that result in unique kinds of uncertainty. To date, however, little
effort has been made to provide an uncertainty range of extent estimates
from satellite data. Meier will discuss our current understanding of
these issues and propose various methods of estimating extent
uncertainty, with the aim of improving analyses of sea ice extent trends
and variability. Time for participant questions will follow the
presentation.

The webinar will be archived and available online after the event.

For further information about the Sea Ice Prediction
Network, please go to: http://www.arcus.org/sipn.

For questions, please contact Betsy Turner-Bogren at ARCUS
(betsy@arcus.org).

[CRYOLIST] Beginner Elmer/Ice course, Oslo, 31st October, 1st and 2nd November

Dear ice-sheet, glacier and ice flow modelers (or future ones),

We are organizing a 3-days beginner Elmer/Ice course from Monday October 31 to Wednesday November 2, 2016, at the University of Oslo (the week after the IGS Nordic Branch meeting which will be held at the Fram Centre in Tromsø, Norway, from Wednesday October 26 to Friday October 28).

This 3-days course is dedicated to students or researchers aiming to start working with Elmer/Ice. During the course, you will learn how to set up a simple ice flow problem for a flow line geometry as well as for a real mountain glacier. The third day will be dedicated to more advanced topics like the coupling of ice flow and temperature or inverse methods. For those interested, this last day might also be dedicated to start setting up your own problem with our help. 

The course is sponsored by the Department of Geosciences of the University of Oslo (http://www.mn.uio.no/geo/english/), the eScience tools for investigating climate change (eSTICC, https://esticc.net/), CSC (https://www.csc.fi/en), LGGE (http://www-lgge.ujf-grenoble.fr/) and the Labex OSUG@2020 (http://www.osug.fr/labex-osug-2020/?lang=en).

The number of places is limited to 20, and will be given on the basis of the first registered, first served. To register, send an email to Olivier Gagliardini with you name, affiliation, position and few lines of motivations to attend the course. There will be no registration fees, but students will have to take care of their lodging and attend the course with their own laptop. More information will be given later on the Elmer/Ice website (http://elmerice.elmerfem.org/).

Regards,
Adrien Gilbert, Fabien Gillet-Chaulet, Thomas Zwinger and Olivier Gagliardini (Elmer/Ice teachers)
