We want to draw your attention to the session "Ongoing evolution of the climate-ice-ocean system on the Amundsen Sea - West Antarctic coast" at this year's AGU Fall Meeting, which will be held virtually in 7-11 December. We welcome contributions on all aspects of the climate-ice-ocean-earth system along the Amundsen Sea coast, models of its past and future behavior, and studies of other regions that provide insight into ice shelf – ice sheet systems.
Our invited speakers are:=
Anna Crawford, University of St. Andrews
Pierre Dutrieux, Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University
Please submit your abstract to this session from here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/prelim.cgi/Session/104612
The deadline for abstract submissions is Wednesday, 29 July 23:59 EDT.
Best regards,

Session Title: [C011]
Ongoing evolution of the climate-ice-ocean system on the Amundsen Sea - West Antarctic coast
Recent field measurements and models of the climate, ice, and ocean systems of the Amundsen Sea Embayment of West Antarctica, particularly Thwaites Glacier, dramatically underscore the scale and pace of changes there. A complex interaction of changing atmospheric and oceanic circulation, and ice-shelf and ice-sheet responses, make the region one of the most-rapidly evolving areas on Earth. This session is aimed at providing a forum for presentation of new work on boundary processes, system response, and future changes in the region. We seek studies on numerical modelling, remote sensing analysis, climate model evaluations, in situ observations of ice, ocean, and sediments, and syntheses that span the climate-ice-ocean-earth system. We welcome submissions from ongoing efforts that will contribute to advancing the knowledge of past, current, and predicted change in this region.
