Dear colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce our session 'C01 Advances in Modelling Glaciers and Ice Caps - Past Reconstructions, Future Projections, and Process-Based Studies' that will take place at IUGG2023 in Berlin (https://www.iugg2023berlin.org/903-2/). This session is part of IACS (International Association of Cryospheric Sciences) programme, which will run from July 12 to July 16 (https://www.iugg2023berlin.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/iugg2023-programme-at-glance-a4-r02.pdf)
Session description:
"Mountain glaciers and ice caps are important freshwater resources, contribute significantly to present-day sea level rise, and can be a significant source of hazard. Numerical models of glaciers and ice caps are needed to understand past changes, to project future evolutions, and to quantify associated impacts. This symposium focuses on all aspects of modelling glaciers and ice caps other than the ice sheets, including but not limited to the following topics:
- Coupling of glacier mass balance models with ice flow models;
- Integration of physical processes, such as subglacial drainage or glacier calving, into existing models;
- Inverse modelling of subsurface characteristics;
- Inference of glacier ice thickness from surface measurements.
Studies on all spatial and temporal scales, including past reconstructions and future projections are solicited, with particular emphasis on regional-scale studies and high-mountain environments. "
The deadline for abstract submission is February 14.
We look forward to seeing you in Berlin,
Daniel Farinotti, Yongmei Gong, Mathieu Morlighem, and Harry Zekollari
