[CRYOLIST] Reminder - GeoKarlsruhe 2021 session "Geological archives and proxies of polar environmental change: Data basis for constraining numerical simulations"

Dear colleagues!

This is an invitation to submit an abstract to our session

Geological archives and proxies of polar environmental change: Data basis for constraining numerical simulations

at the DGGV Annual Meeting 2021 GeoKarlsruhe (https://www.geokarlsruhe2021.de) virtually held from September 19-23.

Abstract:
In recent years, geoscientific data provided considerable insights into the environmental past of polar regions. Conventional coring, seafloor drilling, and terrestrial campaigns led to increasing data availability of past environmental and ice-sheet change at both poles. As these are the regions most sensitively reacting to climatic changes, reliable datasets of past variations are critical for constraining numerical models aiming at simulating future changes more robustly. We therefore invite contributions from colleagues working in marine and terrestrial settings in both polar regions on various timescales. We particularly ask for contributions that integrate field data with numerical modeling, i.e. utilize past variations as target values for calibrating numerical simulations in order to improve their predictive capabilities for future scenarios.

Keynote speaker
Evan Gowan (Kumamoto University, Japan), Title: Reconstructing past ice sheets and paleotopography using observations of past sea level and glacial geology

The submission deadline for abstracts was extended to May, 26th and contributions can be submitted via https://www.conftool.pro/geokarlsruhe2021/index.php?page=login
This years DGGV Annual Meeting will be held virtually with reduced registration fees.

We are looking forward to your contributions and wish you all the best!
