JS07 - INTEGRATED GEOPHYSICAL PROGRAMS FOR EARTH SYSTEMS MONITORING (IASPEI, IAG)

 

Convener: Thomas James (Canada, IAG)

Description

Large-scale integrated geophysical programs that combine seismology, GNSS, InSAR and other methods are providing valuable new insights about Earth Systems processes through synoptic imaging and monitoring capabilities. Ongoing or recent programs including EarthScope, SINOPROBE, AlpArray and IPOC have made many significant contributions to Earth System monitoring, with applications ranging from tectonic processes, hazards, resources and global change. EarthScope’s USArray program, for example, has changed how the general public can envision earthquakes along with refining the capacity for tomographic imaging deep into the mantle, whereas Australian federal programs such as AusLAMP have provided critical pre-competitive framework for resources exploration. Various types of instrumentation have contributed to outcomes that were not foreseen at the outset; for example, GPS reflected rays are now being used for monitoring vegetation growth, soil moisture, snow and sea ice accumulation.  Canada’s LITHOPROBE program was among the first to integrate high-resolution geophysical methods with a variety of other approaches to address geoscientific problems at the plate scale. Canada is now working towards initiating the CCArray  and EON-ROSE programs, which will expand on the exceptional outcomes from the EarthScope program. This symposium welcomes submissions that focus on new scientific insights and serendipitous applications arising from integrated geophysical array programs.

[CRYOLIST] Geosciences Special Issue "Cryosphere II"

Dear Ice Enthusiasts,

a quick reminder:

the first special issue "Cryosphere" of Geosciences (2017/2018) included thirteen papers that shed light on a diverse list of ice- and snow-related topics: alpine glaciers, glacial lakes, GLOFs, permafrost, sea ice, snow cover, ice cores, and cryosols. The papers present results and conclusions from the Alborz, Alpen, Altai, Tien Shan, and Himalaya mountains; from the Arctic and Antarctica; and from the tundra of Russia and the taiga of Finland.

The second volume "Cryosphere II" is a continuation of this reporting on our ever-changing cryosphere and has the same mission: it aims to present the diversity within the field and state-of-the-art research on glaciers, ice sheets, permafrost, sea ice, and snow cover. It also seeks to display a wide range of regional studies and methodological approaches such as laboratory experiments, field measurements and observations, numerical modeling, and remote sensing. Contributions on the interactions between the cryosphere and other elements of the geosystem (atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere) are of particular interest, as are applied aspects related to the cryosphere, for example, natural hazards, hydropower, water resources, and artificial glaciation. Last, but not least, the Special Issue allows for stretching our imagination beyond Earth, and welcomes new insights into the cryospheres of other planets.

The journal is now accepting manuscripts for review. Submission deadline is March 31, 2019. Please check the website for additional information.

About the workshop

Please check the workshop website for the most current information:

http://arctic.icecoredata.org

The workshop goal is to bring together a diverse group of researchers (including faculty and graduate students) that are using or would like to use ice core data available from the Arctic Data Center. The goal is to learn about common research workflows that the community is using and to test the applicability of selected Arctic data sets and software tools to build the next generation of digital paleoclimate data products and reconstructions.

Background Information

In the past decade, the volume and complexity of data available in ice core science has grown rapidly. This increase has several major drivers: First, an increase in sampling frequency and quality has resulted in rapid generation of data. Second, advances in the Web and computer system integration of related technologies have simplified data exchange. Finally, the scientific community and funding agencies are supporting major efforts to increase research transparency by requiring researchers to publicly share project data collected during research in long term data repositories. All of these converging elements hold the potential to significantly boost scientific discovery due to the benefits of sharing data with other disciplines, but new computing approaches are needed.

The 2019 Arctic Data Workshop will focus on evaluation and testing of tools that simplify the use of publicly available Arctic data in a meaningful way. The goal is to increase the ease and transparency of working back from scientific results, for example a table within a publication, to the original datasets from which the summarized data were derived. By actively soliciting community-wide input and experience, the workshop will incorporate and share with the community related best practices from code development, digital curation, and software engineering.

JC01: Projecting sea level in the 21st century and beyond

Description
The seas are currently rising, and the rise is expected to continue into the 21 century and beyond, challenging societies around the globe. The primary contemporary contributors to global mean sea level are thermal expansion due to warming oceans and melting glaciers and ice sheets. Spatially-varying changes in absolute and relative sea level arise from the associated changes in solid Earth loading and variability of the Earth's gravity field. This joint symposium brings together the fields of glaciology, oceanography, atmospheric sciences, hydrology, and solid earth geophysics to assess the relative importance of each component and their respective uncertainties over the next centuries with focus on both regional and global sea level changes.

FIRST RESULTS FROM THE YEAR OF POLAR PREDICTION (YOPP)

The climate system in the Polar Regions has changed rapidly over recent decades. Predictions show continued dramatic changes in all components of the polar climate system due to anthropogenic climate change drivers. In addition, ongoing increases in transportation and economic activity are leading to growing demand for improved regional weather and broader environmental prediction information in the Polar Regions.

Significant improvements in environmental prediction capabilities for the Polar Regions, and beyond, are required to meet these demands. A major initiative towards achieving this is The Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP), which is the flagship activity of Polar Prediction Project (PPP). It provides a period of coordinated intensive observing, modelling, verification, user-engagement and education activities.

For this session we invite all contributions from the Year of Polar Prediction, particularly reports and first results from recent field campaigns in the Arctic and Antarctic. In line with the interdisciplinary nature of YOPP we encourage contributions that connect the atmosphere with the ocean, cryosphere and biosphere.

This 1-year Masters of Research (MSc(Res)) programme should interest students looking for Masters-level research training and experience within the broad subject area of cold-regions science. Its research areas include glaciology, geomorphology, climate change and reconstruction, Quaternary science, geochronology, and oceanic and atmospheric processes.

The programme targets those wishing to gain an intensive research experience and expand their range of research skills before progressing to a PhD. Training is provided in the form of a research apprenticeship within the Ice and Climate Research (ICERS) cluster of academic and postdoctoral staff and PhD and Masters students. Our students carry out a major Research Project under supervision by the ICERS staff. Another key feature of the programme is a summer Field Course module. Its provisional destination is Western Greenland, although alternative field locations may be considered that reflect the interests and experience of our staff.

We invite applications from students who are performing at (a minimum) good Upper-Second Class undergraduate level at a UK University or graduated at that level, or an international equivalent, in a relevant subject area (for example, Physical Geography, Environmental / Earth / Ocean Sciences, Geology, Physics, and Natural Science).

Our alumni have gone on to secure competitive PhD places (and, subsequently, postdoctoral and academic positions) at research-intensive institutions in the UK and other countries. Other alumni have begun careers as environmental professionals, amongst a range of career destinations.

Our next Open Day is on Wednesday 27th February 2019. There will be more Open Days later this year. We are now considering applications for September 2019 entry.
