[CRYOLIST] Geophysical and in-situ methods for snow and ice studies @ EGU 2023

Dear Cryolisters,
We would like to invite you to submit to our EGU 2023 session ​**CR2.2 Geophysical and in-situ methods for snow and ice studies​​**. We welcome contributions using a geophysical or in-situ method to investigate all areas of the cryosphere - ice sheets, permafrost, snow, firn, sea ice, glaciers and more!

Our invited speaker for 2023 will be ​**Riccardo Scandroglio**​ with an exciting talk on long-term alpine permafrost monitoring with geoelectrical methods.

The submission deadline is Tuesday, 10 January 2023, 13:00 CET. For more information on the session, please see the abstract below or follow this link: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/session/45844

We are looking forward to an exciting and cross-disciplinary session and hope to continue the lively and fruitful presentations and discussions we have had for the last few years. EGU 2023 will be held in Vienna, Austria, between the 23rd and 28th April 2023.

CR2.2  Geophysical and in-situ methods for snow and ice studies
Geophysical and in-situ measurements provide important baseline datasets, as well as validation for modelling and remote sensing products. They are used to advance our understanding of firn, ice-sheet and glacier dynamics, sea ice processes, changes in snow cover and snow properties, snow/ice-atmosphere-ocean interactions, permafrost degradation, geomorphic mechanisms, and changes in en-glacial and sub-glacial conditions.

In this session, we welcome contributions related to a wide spectrum of methods, including, but not limited to, advances in radioglaciology, active and passive seismology, geoelectrics, acoustic sounding, fibre-optic sensing, GNSS reflectometry, signal attenuation, and time delay techniques, cosmic ray neutron sensing, ROV and drone applications, and electromagnetic methods. Contributions can include  field applications, new approaches in geophysical or in-situ survey techniques, or theoretical advances in data analysis processing or inversion. Case studies from all parts of the cryosphere, including snow and firn, alpine glaciers, ice sheets, glacial and periglacial environments, permafrost and rock glaciers, or sea ice, are highly welcome.

The focus of the session is to share  experiences in the application, processing, analysis, and interpretation of different geophysical and in-situ techniques in these highly complex environments. We have been running this session for more than a decade and it always produces lively and informative discussion.
