Dear Cryolist members,
We invite you to submit and abstract to our INQUA 2023 session
"Reconstructing Quaternary ice sheets (Session 37)". The abstract
deadline is November 1.
Abstract: One of the defining features of the Quaternary is the
orbitally driven waxing and waning of continental ice sheets in both the
Northern and Southern Hemisphere. The evolution of these ice sheets had
a profound impact on the Earth System, including (i) sea level
fluctuations on the order of 110-130 m, (ii) dramatic alteration of
global air and ocean circulation patterns (iii) substantial sculpting of
the landscape, and (iv) reorganization of continental drainage.
Understanding the evolution of Quaternary ice sheets is necessary to
calibrate and test climate proxies and models. In this session, we
encourage the submission of studies focused on empirically
reconstructing continental ice sheets across all intervals of the
Quaternary. We welcome studies on a variety of topics, including
glacial/geomorphic mapping, moraine chronologies, proglacial lake
records, terrestrial sediment archives, drainage basin change, relative
sea level change, and related methodological improvements. We also
encourage new studies that reconstruct the volume of ice sheets through
time, through modelling using glacial isostatic adjustment techniques,
ice sheet modelling, or "dip-stick" records.
