On behalf of our convening team, I would like to draw your attention to Session CR2.12 "Radar investigations of ice: advancements, applications, and synergies from and between Earth and Space" taking place at EGU 2023 on 23-28 April in Vienna Austria. The details of the session can be found here https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/session/47458
Please note that the abstract submission deadline is 13:00 CET (07:00 EST & 04:00 PST) on 10 January 2023.
Session description:
Radar sounding is a well-established means of studying glaciers and ice sheets on Earth as well as ice on Mars. In this coming decade, radar-carrying missions will also be launched to study the icy moons of Jupiter. Surface-based, airborne, and satellite radar measurements all provide unique insights into the surface, internal and subsurface processes of icy environments; distinguishing them from other types of surface and remote sensing investigations. This wide range of applicability has led to an increasing diversification and specialization of radar implementations and data analysis techniques. Often framed in terms of the specific fields of application, there is typically little opportunity to center the radar methods themselves as a means of seeking out parallels and synergies between disciplines.
The purpose of this session is to provide a common forum for showcasing the state-of-the-art in terms of how radar sounding techniques are being applied across the solar system. By bringing together all researchers interested in the use of radar to study ice, this session strives to facilitate discussions of on-going and future cross-fertilisation between disciplines. To this end, we welcome contributions from all relevant fields and areas of study, including terrestrial cryospheric science, geodesy, and planetary science. The broad-scale topics we hope to cover in this session include:
1) Recent advances in the acquisition, analysis, and interpretation of radar datasets both on Earth and across the solar system.
2) Advanced techniques that exploit radar data beyond sounding: altimetry, reflectometry, etc.
3) Synergies between terrestrial spaceborne and airborne radar sounding.
4) Lessons learned from Earth and applicability to other extra-terrestrial bodies.
5) Lessons learned from extra-terrestrial bodies and their applicability to Earth.
6) Electromagnetic modelling of radar wave propagation within the terrestrial or solar system ices.
We especially encourage the participation of Early Career researchers and those from underrepresented groups.
