[CRYOLIST] Landscape Live Seminar (06/10): Gino de Gelder (IRD-Univ. Grenoble Alpes)

Dear All,

We are very pleased to announce the next Landscapes Live online seminar by Gino de Gelder (IRD-Univ. Grenoble Alpes) on Thursday, October 6th at 16:00 CEST (Amsterdam/Berlin/Paris).

 

"Inverting marine terrace morphology to constrain paleo sea-level"

Abstract: Quantifying paleo sea-level variations is of fundamental importance to understand the complex relations between paleo-climate, -ice-sheets and geodynamics, yet uncertainties prior to the Holocene currently span several tens of meters. The world's coastlines present an enormous geomorphologic dataset of relative sea-level changes, and recent studies have shown how they can be used within forward landscape evolution models. We take a next step, and apply a Bayesian approach to invert the geometry of marine terrace sequences to paleo sea-level. Using a Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling method, we test our model on both synthetic profiles and observed marine terrace sequences from Santa Cruz (Ca, US) and the Corinth Rift (Greece). The synthetic profiles – with known input parameters – show that there are optimal values for uplift rate and erosion rate to obtain a well-constrained inversion. Both the inversion of synthetic profiles and real sequences show how sea-level peaks are easier to constrain than sea-level troughs, but that also solutions for peaks tend to be non-unique. Synthetic profiles and profiles from several sites in the Corinth Rift both show how inverting multiple profiles from a sequence can lead to a narrower range of possible paleo sea-level, especially for sea-level troughs. This last result emphasizes the potential of inverting coastal morphology, suggesting that joint inversion of globally distributed marine terrace profiles may eventually catalyse a better understanding of local/global paleo sea-level and glacio-isostatic adjustments.

 

The seminar will be live on Zoom and open to anyone interested (limit of 300 participants). Register in advance for this meeting: https://univ-grenoble-alpes-fr.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIvcOirrT0vHN1kf3FRKeD6POOPHOP3NJcM .

[CRYOLIST] IPY5 starting in 2032

Dear Cryolisters,

I somehow had the impression at the end of IPY4 that we fixed the date
for IPY5 for 2032, as my recollection was that we agreed we had started
too late on the ramp-up to IPY4. Apologies if I missed it, but this
week I searched the cryolist archives and found nothing about IPY5, a
google search found only some mentions of survey of interest about it a
few months ago, and trying a few web pages at random only turned up that
www.ipy5.org was available, so I bought it and posted my thoughts about
it there...

It seems to me that the projects that are being proposed now will be the
ones who's results 3-5 years from now will be what's used to convince
our national legislatures over those next several years to provide
additional funding for projects that have a truly IPY focus with enough
time for their science agencies award them by 2030-31. That is, 8 years
isn't so far away and we need to look for new ways now to make people
look up then. So if it's already official and I can't find it then I
think we need to start advertising better, and if it's not already
official then I don't think it's too early to start thinking and talking
about in the meantime. Just my two cents...

Cheers,
Matt

PS. I'm happy to turnover www.ipy5.org to anyone who wants to be a
hero...

[CRYOLIST] Obituary - Jérémie Mouginot

On behalf of IGE (Grenoble), I deeply regret to inform you of the death
of Jérémie Mouginot on Wednesday 28 September.

Jérémie joined IGE in 2017 and was a brilliant and very enthusiastic
colleague, and a great friend to many of us. His departure leaves an
enormous void and we are devastated.

Many of you have certainly had the pleasure of meeting and talking with
him at conferences or on the field. Jérémie did his PhD at LPG
(Grenoble) on the processing and analysis of data from the Mars Advanced
Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding. Then, he joined the
University of California Irvine for about 10 years where he used his
expertise in remote sensing to study the mass balance of polar
ice-sheets. He made major contributions to revealing the surface
velocities of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, in particular
through the use of InSAR data.

His studies produced key novel insights into our understanding of
ongoing glaciers and ice-sheet changes and their contributions to sea
level rise.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

If you wish to express a message to them or post a tribute, you can do
so on this link https://padlet.com/IGE_Grenoble/kwfz0om49a4y28sf or send
it to us and we will pass it on.

Best regards

[CRYOLIST] Data set updates: MEaSUREs Greenland Annual/Quarterly/Monthly/6 and 12 day Ice Sheet Velocity Mosaics

Dear Colleague,

 

New versions for the MEaSUREs Greenland Annual/Quarterly/Monthly Ice Sheet Velocity Mosaics from SAR and Landsat and the MEaSUREs Greenland 6 and 12 day Ice Sheet Velocity Mosaics from SAR data sets are now available through the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). These annual, quarterly, monthly, and 6 and 12 day data sets have been recalibrated to reduce biases imposed by quadratic fits to control points. A correction has been added for the submergence/emergence velocity and interferometric phase data were added where available. New data have also been added; temporal coverages now span 01 December 2014 - 30 November 2021 for the annual data, 01 December 2014 - 28 February 2022 for the quarterly and monthly data, and 01 January 2015 - 22 June 2022 for the 6 and 12 day data.

[CRYOLIST] Data set update: Images of Antarctic Ice Shelves, Version 2 (NSIDC-0102)

Dear Colleague,

 

Images of Antarctic Ice Shelves, Version 2 (NSIDC-0102), accessible through the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), has been updated to include MODIS imagery through July 2022. This data set was created as part of an effort to closely monitor major ice streams and outlet glaciers along the Antarctic coast, with a focus on the ice shelves considered the most susceptible to rapid change due to climatic warming and those that occasionally calve major icebergs. This monitoring effort began using AVHRR 1 Km images from several NOAA polar-orbiting satellites, and later included MODIS images from both Terra and Aqua. AVHRR images are available from August 1989 to October 2001, while MODIS images are now available from March 2000 to July 2022. The NSIDC will be providing updates to this data set with new MODIS imagery on a monthly basis. 

 

Access to the data and documentation is provided on the data set web page at the NSIDC DAAC: https://nsidc.org/data/nsidc-0102/

[CRYOLIST] Call for Registration: ARCUS Arctic Research Seminar with Charlie Paull - Decomposing Submarine Permafrost in the Canadian Beaufort Sea

The Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) invites registration for the next Arctic Research Seminar featuring Charlie Paull, Senior Scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). Charlie's presentation, titled "Decomposing Submarine Permafrost in the Canadian Beaufort Sea", will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, 5 October 2022 at 9:00 a.m. AKDT (1:00 p.m. EDT).

Seminar Abstract:

Sediments beneath the Arctic continental shelf are undergoing substantial warming. This warming is associated with the sea level transgression at the end of the last ice age, when relatively warm ocean water flooded over a much colder terrestrial periglacial landscape. The warming is still propagating down into subsurface sediments causing the glacial-aged permafrost wedge to thin and retreat landwards. Models of the impact of transgression on subsea permafrost have recognized the potential existence of a slowly moving groundwater system that carries waters seaward under the extensive glacial-age relict permafrost bodies hosted within shelf sediments. Pore waters sampled in 50 sediment cores taken from 90 to 1000 m water depths along the shelf edge and upper slope of the Canadian Beaufort Sea freshen with sub-bottom depth, suggesting near-seafloor sediments are pervasively bathed in brackish water. Their isotopic composition suggests relict permafrost is the source for the freshening waters along the shelf edge. High-resolution bathymetric surveys of the shelf edge of the Canadian Beaufort Sea reveal a remarkable coalescence of seafloor morphologic features (e.g., slump-scars, submarine-pingos, and steep-sided closed depressions) in the areas where these waters are emerging. Repeat mapping also shows multiple new steep-sided depressions that developed in the 9-year-long interval between surveys. The largest is 28 m in depth and 220 m across. These morphological changes occur near the maximum seaward limit of the submerged glacial-age permafrost and are attributed to groundwater flow, ascending along the relict permafrost boundaries and inducing segregated ice in relict permafrost to melt.

Registration is required for this event. Instructions for accessing the webinar will be sent to registrants prior to the event.
