Dear colleagues,
This is a friendly reminder that abstract submission deadline is approaching for IUGG 2019 (to be held in Montreal, 8-18 July 2019). IACS symposium (http://iugg2019montreal.com/c.html), will host the following session where we encourage your contribution:
C07 – The Hydrological Cycle at High Latitudes: Variability, Changes and Impacts on the Cryosphere
Description
The atmospheric water cycle is a key player in the ice sheet surface mass and energy balance. The rapid changes associated with the anthropogenic warming are expected to alter this balance, with changing in poleward moisture transport affecting the precipitation rate, cloud properties, albedo, and consequently mass and energy balance.
In this symposium, we welcome contributions both from modeling and from observational campaigns using a combination of remote sensing, ground/ship-based and satellite observations targeting various aspects of the hydrological cycle in the polar regions and improving their representation in climate models.
Topics can include but are not limited to:
- Atmospheric dynamics, including the role of atmospheric rivers in the total precipitation budget in the Arctic and Antarctic
- Water isotope measurements in the vapor, as a new constraint on moisture transport in models.
- New observation techniques to improve precipitation estimate and the surface mass balance
- Impacts on the surface energy balance, including clouds, albedo and melt
- Interaction with the ocean, from air-sea fluxes to the role of precipitation in the ocean salinity changes.
Deadline for abstract submission: 18 February 2019 (http://iugg2019montreal.com/abstract-submission.html).
Travel Grants: IUGG established the 27th IUGG General Assembly Travel Grants Program to support students, early career scientists, female scientists and the attendees from less-affluent countries. The support can be requested to cover (i) the registration fee (at the early-bird registration fee) and/or (ii) living/travel expenses. More information and application submission portal here: http://iugg2019montreal.com/travel-grant.html
Kind regards,
Session conveners
