Dear Colleagues,
The deadline for the EGU abstract submission is approaching very fast (15 January 2019, 13:00 CET). If you are still not sure where to submit, we would like to cordially invite you to submit to our exciting and cross-disciplinary EGU session "Geophysical and in-situ methods for ice and snow studies (CR2.1/HS1.1/SM4) and to continue the lively and fruitful presentations and discussions we had last year. We welcome contributions from all areas of snow and ice studies (from permafrost to glaciers, snowpack, ice sheets…) using a geophysical or in-situ method. It is an interactive PICO session - a perfect format for inspiring and informal scientific discussions. For more information and abstract submission, please click on the following link and see the abstract below: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2020/session/34939
We hope to see you at our session in May,
Franziska Koch, Nanna Bjørnholt Karlsson, Kristina Keating and Emma C. Smith
Geophysical measurements offer important baseline datasets as well as validation for modelling and remote sensing products for cryospheric sciences. Applications include the dynamics of ice-sheets, alpine glaciers and sea ice, changes in snow cover properties of seasonal and permanent snow, snow/ice-atmosphere-ocean interactions, permafrost degradation, geomorphic processes and changes in subsurface materials.
In this session we welcome contributions related to a wide spectrum of geophysical- and in-situ methods, including advances in diverse techniques such as radioglaciology, active and passive seismology, acoustic sounding, GPS/GNSS reflectometry or time delay techniques, cosmic ray neutron sensing, drone applications, geoelectrics and NMR. Contributions may concern field applications as well as new approaches in geophysical/in-situ survey techniques or theoretical advances in the field of data analysis, processing or inversion. Case studies from all parts of the cryosphere such as snow, alpine glaciers, ice sheets, glacial and periglacial environments and sea ice are highly welcome. The focus of the session is to compare experiences in the application, processing, analysis and interpretation of different geophysical and in-situ techniques in these highly complex environments.
This session is offered as a PICO: an engaging presentation format that has been successfully tested for this session during the last three years at EGU. All selected contributions will present their research orally, and then further present their research using interactive screens. This results in rich scientific feedback and is an effective tool for communicating science with high visibility.
