[CRYOLIST] The loss of Roger Barry

On March 19 the cryospheric community lost Roger Barry.  Roger was a University of Colorado Distinguished Professor and founding director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences.  Under his leadership, NSIDC grew to be a cryospheric data resource for the world.  He enjoyed building collaborative projects and international partnerships, and through his outreach many of us had opportunities to work with colleagues around the world.  Although he retired in 2008, he kept a cluttered desk surrounded by stuffed bookshelves in a room with students at NSIDC, coming in frequently, enjoying the work that was his life.  We will miss him.

[CRYOLIST] Arctic mid-latitude linkages white paper released

Dear community:

I wanted to share
​a
 white paper that has come out of the
​2017 Arctic Change and Its Influence on Mid-Latitude Climate and Weather
 workshop discussions and
​US CLIVAR ​
working group activities. In addition to a thorough analysis on the topic, you will find recommendations based on the workshop findings. This was a great community effort, with 37 contributors participating in the writing/drafting/reviewing.


Please share with any colleagues that may find this of interest. 

Best regards,
Kristan

[CRYOLIST] Newsletter ISSW2018-International Snow Science Workshop

Dear All,


For the first time in Austria and for the third time in Europe we proudly announce the upcoming event of 2018 the

22th ISSW (International Snow Science Workshop).

It is the world's largest conference on snow and avalanches and its success lies in the motto:

'A Merging of Theory and Practice'

Unlike any other symposium, the ISSW promotes an international and interdisciplinary exchange between experts in the snow community.

The thematic focus lies on current advances in snow and avalanche science, case studies and innovative technologies at an international level.


We are excited to announce the registration opening for the ISSW2018 on 29th March!

Thus, we encourage all interested parties to enrich the ISSW in Innsbruck not only by their participation, but also by contributing in the form

of oral or poster presentations. Until 23th April the submission of short abstracts is possible in all four conference languages.

Simultaneous translation will be provided during the conference in English, French, German and Italian.


Learn more about the conference by visiting http://issw2018.com/en/

or follow us on Facebook

(ISSW 2018 - International Snow Science Workshop).


On behalf of the ISSW2018 committee we are looking forward to welcome you in Innsbruck.


Kind regards,


Hanna Krismer

[CRYOLIST] POLAR2018 AntArchitecture Workshop on Antarctica's Internal Ice Structure

Dear all,

In connection with the upcoming SCAR POLAR2018 in Davos, we invite you to a side meeting of the "AntArchitecture" consortium on *Friday 15 June* 11:00-16:00, A Forum (House A).

AntArchitecture is the name of a proposed new science programme in SCAR whose underpinning goal is to use radar-imaged information on the internal structure of the Antarctic Ice Sheet - i.e., its internal architecture – to inform palaeoclimatic reconstruction and ice-sheet modelling of the future contributions of the ice sheet to global sea level. A first meeting of the group was held in Edinburgh in July 2017, and the scope and outcomes of that meeting are available here:

http://www.sages.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/BINGHAM-R-EDi-2017-AntArchitecture-Workshop-Final-Report.pdf

For the AntArchitecture side meeting in Davos, we anticipate discussion following the general outline below, but this is flexible depending on attendees and interest:

1)        Progress with tracing or otherwise recording the internal structure of the Antarctic Ice Sheet.

2)        Development of workflows for recording, homogenising across surveys, and visualising subsurface information.

3)        Identification of regions with good/bad information on internal structure of the ice.

4)        Applications: linking ice core age-depth profiles, Oldest Ice, modelling accumulation, ice flow.

5)        What do (a) ice-sheet modellers, (b) palaeoclimate researchers / ice-core scientists, and (c) possible other users (?) need as products from AntArchitecture?

PLEASE NOTE that the day of the workshop is the Friday BEFORE the Open Science conference in the following week, and that to attend you must register for the ASSW or other meetings and workshops (30 CHF) – for this you do get free coffee and a lunch, you'll also be registered for other side interesting side meetings over the same weekend (e.g. AntClim21, SERCE…), and you get the chance to enjoy a nice weekend in Davos before the Open Science conference starts!

If you plan to attend the workshop (calling all icy geophysicists, palaeoclimate researchers, modellers…) please can you email us in advance to r.bingham@ed.ac.uk and give an indication of whether you'd like to contribute some slides.

Very best wishes,

Rob Bingham (University of Edinburgh), Olaf Eisen (Alfred Wegener Institute), Nanna Karlsson (Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland – GEUS), Joe MacGregor (NASA Goddard), Neil Ross (Newcastle University), Duncan Young (University of Texas at Austin)

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in physical oceanography or closely related field. Candidates with aptitude for analysis of extensive data sets and/or experience with numerical models are especially encouraged to apply. The position is initially for 12 months with possibility of extension for two additional years pending satisfactory performance. Additional information about the project can be found at https://castelaolab.wordpress.com.
