[CRYOLIST] Discussion Series: Tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt change in the Earth system | Ice Sheets (15 November 2021)

Dear colleagues,

We are happy to announce an extra event in the 'Tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt change in the Earth system' discussion series, focusing on the role of ice sheets. The event will take place on 15 November 2021, 16:00-17:30 CET, and will include two talks: 

• Recent Updates on Ice Sheet Loss – Ricarda Winkelmann 
• Climate and sea-level impacts of Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet loss – Sophie Nowicki 

The talks will be followed by 20 minutes of formal discussions and, for those who wish to stay on, a further 25 minutes of informal discussions on the topic. The event will be recorded. 

This discussion series is a joint activity of the Analysis, Integration, and Modeling of the Earth System (AIMES), the Earth Commission, and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity.
