Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that we will be resuming with our Webinar Series on Ice Sheets, Sea Level and GIA in the coming months leading up to the WCRP Sea Level Meeting (https://www.sealevelconference.org/) and PALSEA workshop (https://palseagroup.weebly.com/), both in Singapore and online in July, 2022.
We will begin this week on Tuesday March 8 at 2pm ET/8pm CET/Wednesday March 9th at 8am in N.Z. on the theme of rates and amplitudes of Pleistocene ice sheet and sea level variations with speakers Jo Brendryen and Georgia Grant.
Register in advance for the webinar here:

Jo Brendryen is a senior researcher in Quaternary marine geology and paleoclimate at the University of Bergen (Department of Earth Science and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research), Norway. His research interests span a wide range of topics but centers at ocean margins as these are the interphase between the oceanic and the terrestrial realms and especially important for the understanding of ocean-ice sheet interactions. Jo's talk will be on "Rates of deglacial ice sheet retreat".
Georgia Grant is an ECR, employed as a Sedimentologist at GNS Science (Crown Research Institute), New Zealand. She co-leads the 'Southern Ocean and Antarctic Chronology and Environment Proxies' subcommittee under the new SCAR (Scientific Committee of Antarctic Research) research program INSTANT (Instabilities and Thresholds in Antarctica). Georgia will present on "A continuous record of sea-level change during the intensification of North Hemisphere Ice Sheets (3.3 – 1.7 Ma)".
Future seminars will be held on:
April 12/13(8:00 a.m. N.Z.), Nick Golledge, "Climate forced changes of the Antarctic Ice Sheet: Evidence, inference, and speculation"
May 10 - (time tbd) Terry Wilson and the Polenet-ANET team on the theme of seismic and geodetic networks in Antarctica
June 14 - (time tbd) Ivan Haigh "The impact of sea-level rise on storm surge barriers" and Sally Brown "title tbd"
All the best,
