Dear Colleagues,
We’d like to point your attention to our session on the high-mountain water cycle at AGU2019, “C012 - Drivers of Change in the High-Mountain Water Cycle”.
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/74940
This session brings together studies that focus on integrating observations, remote sensing and numerical models with the aim to understand present and future glacio-, hydro- and meteorological processes in mountainous regions. It focuses on advances in understanding high-altitude meteorology, feedbacks between the cryosphere and atmosphere, glacier and snow dynamics, climate change impacts and the associated hydrological response. The session welcomes in particular studies that: i) link results from atmospheric modeling to the high-altitude water cycle, (ii) advance the process understanding of glaciers, snow and the hydrological cycle, (iii) quantify hydrometeorological extremes, and (iv) assess impacts of climate change using process-based modeling.
We have two exciting invited speakers – McKenzie Skiles and Brian Menounos – and we hope to see many more in San Francisco this December.
