[CRYOLIST] Last Call for abstract EGU2020: CR4.3: Glacial-periglacial-paraglacial landscape evolution, controls and feedbacks


Dear cryosphere scientists,

Last call for a contribution to the new session "CR4.3: Glacial-periglacial-paraglacial landscape evolution, controls and feedbacks".

Invited speaker will be Leif Anderson from the GFZ.

Thank you and we look forward to recieve your abstract!

Session description:

Glacial landscapes are constantly transforming in response to past and present climate and environmental conditions. Especially, due to past and present global warming, rapid changes in these landscapes are observed. These changes are associated with transitions from different processual states – glacial – periglacial – paraglacial, and associated morphologies and landforms (e.g. rock glaciers, debris- covered glaciers, protalus ramparts, etc.). To unravel and quantify these past and present evolutions, controls and feedbacks a broad spectrum of methods are available, like geomorphological mapping, dating, remote sensing, geophysics, numerical modelling, climate reconstruction and monitoring, etc. We invite all presentations with conceptual, methodological, or modelling approaches or combinations to better understand these states and transitions of glacial landscapes.
If you work on, e.g.
• transitions of glacial to periglacial or paraglacial landforms,
• geomorphometry of past and presently glaciated landscapes,
• processual studies of glacial, paraglacial and periglacial landscapes across all temporal and spatial scales
• conceptual frameworks of the evolution of glaciated landscapes and
• new methods and techniques which enable their quantification,
send your abstract NOW! Especially Early Career Scientists contributions are encouraged.
