[CRYOLIST] Inspiring Girls Expeditions 2018 Applications Open

Dear Cryolist, 

If you haven't heard, Girls on Ice has evolved into Inspiring Girls Expeditions (http://inspiringgirls.org). We expanded to an ice-ocean interactions kayaking expedition in 2017 and next summer we will offer a new Girls on Ice expedition in Canada and Girls on Rock expedition that involves alpine geology and ecology rock climbing in the Rockies. Please share this with anyone you know who has teenage daughters or works with teenage girls. 

We offer these expeditions tuition free to girls who mostly don't otherwise have opportunities to challenge themselves and discover their courage and curiosity. Please also consider giving to our program or sharing with friends who might be interested in giving. You can help change these girls' lives. Http://inspiringgirls.org/inspire-expansion

Thanks and Happy New Year!

Erin

[CRYOLIST] Cryosphere in a changing climate: data and observations, Moscow 4-6 June 2018

Dear colleagues,
with best wishes for a Happy New Year 2018 we would like to draw your attention to a thematic session
TS: Cryosphere in a changing climate: data and observations
at 2018 International Geographical Union Thematic Conference Practical Geography and Challenges of the 21st Century in Moscow on 4-6 June 2018. http://100igras.ru/en/.

The conference which will be held under the auspices of the International Geographical Union (IGU) is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Institute of Geography of Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) - the largest world-renowned geographical research organization in Russia. This occasion provides an opportunity to make an overview of the domestic and international trends in geography's development to analyse the growing impact of scientific research internationalization, the aggravation of global problems, changing theoretical paradigms, radical renewal of research methods and predictions' validity, as well as to strengthen the integration between social and environmental branches of geography.

The conference will be held in the buildings of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow's historical center near the Moskva River.

TS: Cryosphere in a changing climate: data and observations

Co-chairs of the session: Tatiana Khromova; Stanislav Kutuzov; Andrey Glazovsky
Session outline
The earth cryosphere includes important elements of the earth system like snow cover, glaciers, permafrost, seasonally frozen ground, and lake and river ice. The cryosphere is currently one of the most prominent symbols to visualize the impact of climate change, because changes in many cryospheric variables can be observed in nature even by non-scientists. The observed changes in climate are affecting all elements of the cryosphere on different scales. On a global scale, glaciers and ice caps are increasingly influencing the global sea level rise and are therefore threatening many heavily populated regions close to seashores. On a local to over regional scale the current retreat of mountain glaciers worldwide influences the water discharge and consequently sustainable agriculture and energy production, or mountain permafrost affecting slope stability. Therefore, it is still an urgent need to improve the understanding of cryospheric processes and the corresponding long-term evolution of glaciers in connection with climate change adaptation programmes in order to reduce the high vulnerability of people living in mountainous and Polar Regions.
 
Contributions of all kind on cryosphere topics dealing with field measurements, remote sensing observations, data management are highly welcomed.

 

Depending on the number of submissions a thematic sub-sessions will be organized as well.

You can submit the abstracts of your presentations at http://100igras.ru/en/registration.php by January 15 (possible extension to 15 February), 2018.

You may also consider other cryosphere related sessions:
TS:Paleoclimate records as a key to understanding of the global environmental change (chair Vladimir Mikhalenko)

C16.05: Cold & High Altitude Regions challenges and solutions for achieving sustainability (co-chairs Tatiana Vlasova, Arkady Tishkov)

TS: Mountains 21: New Challenges. Role and Responsibility of Geography (co-chairs Yuri Badenkov, Alexey Gunya)

The conference program includes scientific two-hour bus tour around Moscow. For an extra charge conference participants, may also take part in a two-day tour around the cities of the Russian Golden Ring and St. Petersburg on June 7-8

Please feel free to distribute this information.

working language - English.

Hope to see many of you in Moscow in June 2018

[CRYOLIST] EGU 2018 session on the Antarctic Ice Sheet and global sea level

Dear colleagues,

We invite you to submit an abstract to EGU 2018 session CR1.6: "The
Antarctic Ice Sheet: past, present and future contributions towards global
sea level".

Description:

The largest single source of uncertainty in projections of future global
sea level is associated with the mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet
(AIS). In the short-term, it cannot be stated with certainty whether the
mass balance of the AIS is positive or negative; in the long-term, the
possibility exists that melting of the coastal shelves around Antarctica
will lead to an irreversible commitment to ongoing sea level rise.
Observational and paleoclimate studies can help to reduce this
uncertainty, constraining the parameterizations of physical processes
within ice sheet models and allowing for improved projections of future
global sea level rise. This session welcomes presentations covering all
aspects of observation, paleoclimate reconstruction and modeling of the
AIS. Presentations that focus on the mass balance of the AIS and its
contribution towards changes in global sea level are particularly
encouraged.

Abstract submissions are open until 10 January 2018:

We look forward to seeing you in Vienna!

[CRYOLIST] EGU session on Remote sensing of the cryosphere [CR2.1]

Dear colleagues,

Indeed, another EGU session angling for your attention. We would like to draw attention to the EGU (Vienna, Austria 8-13th April, 2018) session: 

Remote sensing of the cryosphere [CR2.1]

which will focus on recent and upcoming advances in satellite remote sensing of the global cryosphere. We welcome presentations providing new insights into cryospheric processes in the broadest sense, ranging from ice sheets, glaciers, frozen soil and sea ice to extraterrestrial glaciology. While the advent of remote sensing has revolutionized the field of glaciology, a vast reservoir of potential remains to be unlocked by using these observations in concert with other data sets. We particularly encourage presentations discussing multi-platform data merging, integration of GIS and ground validation data, integration of remote sensing data into earth system models, as well as cloud computing and processing of super large data sets. We also encourage contributions focusing on historic satellite data re-analysis, novel processing approaches for upcoming satellite missions, and presentations outlining pathways to next-generation satellite missions for the coming decades.

More information on the session can be found on http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2018/session/22806

The deadline for abstract submission is 10th January 2018. Abstracts can be submitted via: https://administrator.copernicus.org/authentication.php

Best regards and we look forward to your submissions,

Stef Lhermitte, Bert Wouters and Wolfgang Rack

[CRYOLIST] Reminder EGU 2018 session: Connecting soil and ecosystem measurements across scales in high-latitudes

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to our session at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2018 (EGU 2018). EGU will be held on the 8-13th April 2018 in Vienna, Austria.

Session title:
Connecting soil and ecosystem measurements across scales in high-latitudes (BG2.39)

Conveners: Matthias Siewert, Alevtina Evgrafova , Juri Palmtag

This session invites studies from different disciplines, including soil science, geomorphology, ecology and remote sensing, that focus on high-latitude, permafrost and periglacial ecosystem variability and aim to connect different scales of investigation. This includes related challenges in process understanding, sampling design, mapping and geostatistics.

If you try to connect small scale field experiments with earth system models, or drone imagery with circumpolar vegetation or permafrost patterns, then this session should be interesting for you.

Submission deadline is the 10th of January.
