Dear all,
We, as conveners of our EGU2020 session on cryosphere-atmosphere interaction, i.e., Pavla Dagsson-Waldhauserova (Iceland), Marie Dumont (France), Biagio di Mauro (Italy) and Outi Meinander (Finland), invite and welcome you as speakers or poster presenters in our EGU-session to Vienna, Austria, 3–8 May 2020. The abstract submission deadline is 15 January 2020, 13:00 CET.
Our invited speaker will be Prof. Teruo Aoki from Japan. His expertise includes: Radiative transfer for the atmosphere-snow system and optical properties of snow and ice surface; Aerosol-snow interaction and the relevant climate change; Satellite remote sensing of cryosphere. You are warmly welcome to our session to listen to Teruo's talk!
Here is the link to submit your abstract to our session:

Atmosphere – Cryosphere interaction with focus on transport, deposition and effects of dust, black carbon, and other aerosols
Co-organized by CL2/CR3
Convener:Pavla Dagsson Waldhauserova, Co-conveners: Biagio Di Mauro,Marie Dumont, Outi Meinander
Atmosphere and Cryosphere are closely linked and need to be investigated as an interdisciplinary subject. Most of the cryospheric areas have undergone severe changes in last decades while such areas have been more fragile and less adaptable to global climate changes. This AS-CR session invites model- and observational-based investigations on any aspects of linkages between atmospheric processes and snow and ice on local, regional and global scales. Emphasis is given on the Arctic, high latitudes and altitudes, mountains, sea ice, Antarctic regions. In particular, we encourage studies that address aerosols (such as Black Carbon, Organic Carbon, dust, volcanic ash, diatoms, bioaerosols, bacteria, etc.) and changes in the cryosphere, e.g., effects on snow/ice melt and albedo. The session also focus on dust transport, aeolian deposition, and volcanic dust, including health, environmental or climate impacts at high latitudes, high altitudes and cold Polar Regions. We include contributions on biological and ecological sciences including dust-organisms interactions, cryoconites, bio-albedo, eco-physiological, biogeochemical and genomic studies. Related topics are light absorbing impurities, cold deserts, dust storms, long-range transport, glaciers darkening, polar ecology, and more. The scientific understanding of the AS-CR interaction needs to be addressed better and linked to the global climate predictions scenarios.
