Antarctic palaeoclimates, sea level change and ice dynamics in past warm episodes: marrying models and data (co-organized)

 

Convener: Peter Bijl

Co-Conveners: Carlota Escutia, Aisling Dolan

 

Evidence from field observations of sedimentological records alongside geochemical, microfossil and seismic data analysis suggests that the entire Cenozoic Antarctic ice sheet witnessed several episodes of dramatic waxing and waning in concert with evidence for climates moderately warmer than today. In contrast, numerical modelling studies have not always been able to predict such dynamic behaviour given reasonable climate forcings. In general, the causes and consequences of major ice sheet volume and sea level changes in the past are often poorly understood. This session aims to bring together research fields of numerical ice sheet, climate and oceanographic modelling and field/ proxy data, as a way to foster model-data comparison. We invite submissions that aim to present new insights from improved numerical modelling experiments of ice sheet, oceanographic and sea ice dynamics as well as those presenting new field data from sedimentary records around the Antarctic Margin (e.g., those from Integrated Ocean drilling program Leg 318 to the Wilkes Land Margin, ANDRILL and their predecessors) or proxy data pertaining to conditions in the Southern Ocean. We welcome research from all areas related to ice sheet dynamics, e.g. bedrock responses to ice sheet changes, the gravitational isostatic responses to glaciation, potential thresholds in climate (induced by orbit or carbon dioxide changes). Submissions considering both proxy-evidence and modelling studies are encouraged.

 

 

[CRYOLIST] Climate of the Younger Dryas - EGU 2016

Dear colleagues another final session reminder,

We would like to draw your attention to a new EGU2016 (Vienna, 17-22 April) session on “Climate of the Younger Dryas” (http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/21136).

 

The session aims to bring together scientists from various disciplines to share their research and discuss this important period of the Earth’s climate history.

 

Confirmed, invited, speakers are Ray Bradley (University of Massachusetts at Amherst) and Dirk Sachse (Potsdam University).

 

We hope to see as many of you as possible at the session.

 

Cheers,

 

Brice Rea (b.rea@abdn.ac.uk), Ramon Pellitero, Matteo Spagnolo, Jostein Bakke, Philip Hughes, Susan Ivy-Ochs, Sven Lukas, Hans Renssen and Adriano Ribolini.

 

 

Session Abstract:

This session aims to bring together as diverse a range of researchers as possible, from empiricists to modellers, glaciologists to entomologists, who are working on this important climate period. There is an ever-growing body of research allowing this period to be understood at high temporal resolution and across a range of spatial scales. We solicit contributions dealing with any aspect of the Younger Dryas which may include: individual site-specific studies; regionally-integrated data sets; model-data inter-comparisons; single or multi-proxy integrations; re-assessment or re-analysis of old data; or the development and/or application of new and exciting techniques. Contributions in which the research generates quantitative estimates of climate as snapshots, time-series, point-source or spatially integrated overviews will be particularly welcome. With this session we would like to generate debate and discussion on how to fit data from various sources and approaches together in order to produce a comprehensive understanding of the Younger Dryas climate and its related terrestrial and aquatic environments.

[CRYOLIST] REMINDER: National Academies Antarctic Sea Ice Variability Workshop - Remote Access

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, Polar Research Board (PRB) and Ocean Studies Board (OSB) are holding a workshop on Antarctic Sea Ice Variability in the Southern Climate-Ocean System next week (January 11-12) in Boulder, Colorado. The workshop will assess current understanding of processes driving Antarctic sea ice changes—including observations of and controls on decadal-scale growth and recent surge in Antarctic sea ice extent.

                                          

This is a reminder that it will be possible to listen in to portions of this workshop remotely. To join the WebEx, and to find additional information, go to  http://dels.nas.edu/Upcoming-Event/Antarctic-Variability/AUTO-7-26-08-D .

[CRYOLIST] GMBAL and GMBANAL: Newly released compilations of mass-balance data

Dear colleagues – Some of you may be interested in the recent appearance of new releases of GMBAL, a compilation of global data on the annual and multi-annual mass balance of glaciers, obtained by direct (glaciological) and geodetic methods; and GMBANAL, a continuation of GMBAL in which regional and global estimates are provided by means of arithmetic averaging of the data and also by spatial interpolation to unmeasured glaciers.

 

These new releases, each labelled as R1501, are now downloadable from http://www.trentu.ca/geography/glaciology (click Global Glaciology, then Mass Balance of Small Glaciers for GMBAL or Global Analysis of Mass Balance for GMBANAL). They supersede the previous release R1301 of two years ago and feature continued steady growth of in-situ glaciological measurements and continued rapid growth of geodetic measurements, especially regional-scale geodetic measurements.

 

As before, most of the glaciological measurements are drawn from the Fluctuations of Glaciers database of the World Glacier Monitoring Service, but GMBAL includes some that are not (yet) in that database. However GMBAL is currently by far the most complete source of geodetic measurements. GMBANAL relies on version 5.0 of the Randolph Glacier Inventory for its description of global glacier geography.

Graham Cogley.

[CRYOLIST] Glacial erosion and landscape evolution session @ EGU 2016 - a reminder

Dear colleagues

Apologies for cross-posting.

We would like to remind you of our session Glacial erosion and landscape evolution: observations, models, and implications (GM10.1/CR4.8) at the forthcoming EGU General Assembly, Vienna, Austria, 17-22 April 2016.

Solicited contributors:
David Lundbek Egholm, Department of Geoscience, Aarhus University
Frédéric Herman, Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics, Université de Lausanne

Session description:
Glaciations at alpine to ice sheet scales play an important role in shaping landscapes globally, and have profound implications for ice dynamics and topographic evolution. In recent years, our understanding of the mechanisms, patterns and importance of glacial erosion has advanced rapidly through new developments in process-based observations, landscape analyses, landscape chronometry, and in the parameterisation of fundamental physical processes in numerical models – including quarrying and abrasion processes, sediment transfer mechanisms, and glacier hydrology. We seek contributions from across this wide range of approaches that further advance our understanding of glacial erosion processes and the implications for long-term landscape evolution and ice dynamics, including present and future changes in glacier and ice sheet systems.

p.s. - Session details.

Frontiers in Geomorphometry and Earth Surface Dynamics: Possibilities, Limitations and Perspectives
http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/20741

This session is inter-disciplinary with a focus on new techniques in digital terrain production and analysis independent of the subject, and/or field. Any insights are welcome but a clear, if perhaps embryonic or potential, link to a process sculpting the Earth's surface is preferred. The session's aim is to foster collaboration and sharing of ideas across subject-boundaries, between technique developers and users, enabling us as a community to fully exploit the wealth of knowledge inherent in our digital landscape. 
We actively encourage contributors to present work "in development", as well as established techniques being used in a novel way. Young researchers are an essential part of driving innovation in our community and are strongly encouraged to present their work.
We wholeheartedly welcome contributions from any discipline which touches on geomorphometry, including but not exclusive to geomorphology (e.g., tectonic/volcanic/climatic/glacial), planetary science, archaeology, geo-biology, natural hazards, computer science. We are looking to hear about limitations, solutions, visions, and perspectives on where progress is needed in the context of digital landscapes (DEMs). Just remember, lurking in another speciality, the solution may be out there!

[CRYOLIST] PhD position available at Universite de Sherbrooke, Canada

PhD offer at the Université de Sherbrooke (Québec, Canada)

The Groupe de Recherche Interdisciplinaire sur le Milieux Polaires (GRIMP) from the Université de Sherbrooke seeks motivated candidates for :

Ph.D. project: Temporal and spatial snow characterization using high-resolution modeling and microwave remote sensing in the Canadian High Arctic

Within GRIMP’s research program on winter extreme events in the arctic in collaboration with the Canadian High Arctic Research Station (CHARS, Cambridge Bay, Nunavut), this Ph.D. project will focus on 1) the application of the snow thermodynamic model SNOWPACK to the Greiner watershed, on Victoria Island, Nunavut (Canada). A high spatial resolution application for the SNOWPACK model will be developed, applied and validated with field measurements in order to monitor snow changes in a warming Arctic. The second main objective is to 2) use microwave (passive and active) remote sensing to retrieve state variables from space (SWE, melt onset/duration, and runoff) and monitor extreme events such as rain-on-snow (ice crusts) which have important impacts on grazing conditions, surface energy balance etc.

GRIMP possesses several meteorological stations equipped with satellite telemetry used as forcing data to models, as well as validation of climate models and reanalyses products. The successful candidate is expected to contribute significantly to fieldwork efforts that include measurements of brightness temperatures using surface-based radiometers, snow micropenetrometer, thermal conductivity, snow specific surface area devices etc.

The Ph.D. candidate will be funded for a maximum duration of 3-years, starting August-September 2016. The Université de Sherbrooke is a French university so that the PhD student will need to take 3 classes in French. The thesis can be written in English (paper-based).

Necessary skills: Advanced coding, remote sensing, fieldwork experience, knowledge of snow physical processes, teamwork.

Interested candidates should contact (with letter of motivation and CV) :

[CRYOLIST] Southern Ocean at EGU 2016, call for abstracts

Dear colleagues and Southern Ocean enthusiasts,

Happy New Year! We would like to invite you to present your new findings and current research at the session 

OS 1.3 The Southern Ocean and its Role in the Global Climate System

at this year's EGU general assembly held in Vienna, April 17-22.

Deadline for abstract submission is January 13, 13:00 CET. 

Session details and a submission link are provided at:

http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/20354

Session description:

The Southern Ocean plays an essential role in hemispheric and global ocean circulation, biogeochemical cycles, and climate. Complex interactions occur between the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and marine organisms, with significant impacts on the carbon cycle, regional ecosystems, future climate change and sea level rise. The Southern Ocean is a critical sink for anthropogenic carbon dioxide, but recent reports have suggested that this sink may be weakening, due to changes in its overturning circulation. This remains a topic of active debate. The Southern Ocean is warming more rapidly than the global ocean as a whole, due to mechanisms that are not yet fully determined. Progress requires long-term observations, but the Southern Ocean is remote and hostile, and the paucity of comprehensive datasets makes hypotheses regarding the impact of Southern Ocean processes on the adjacent ice sheet, ecosystems and climate difficult to validate. Recent technological developments are beginning to give unprecedented insight into the role of the Southern Ocean in the global system, including autonomous floats and gliders, animal-borne sensors, new and more accurate satellite systems, and refined numerical models. This session aims to bring together modellers and observers to assess the current state of knowledge concerning the role of the Southern Ocean in the global climate system, and to exchange ideas concerning how to further such understanding.

Invited speaker: Joellen Russell, U. of Arizona, on recent results of the SOCCOM project (http://soccom.princeton.edu)

[CRYOLIST] EGU session CR5.1 modeling ice sheets and glaciers

Dear colleagues,

We are inviting abstracts for session CR5.1 on « modeling ice sheets and glaciers »  of the EGU 2016 meeting in Vienna (17-22 April 2016).

This session is intended to attract a broad range of ice-sheet and glacier modelling contributions, welcoming applied and theoretical contributions. Theoretical topics that are encouraged are higher-order mechanical models, data inversion and assimilation, representation of other earth sub-systems in ice-sheet models, and the incorporation of basal processes and novel constitutive relationships in these models.

Applications of newer modelling themes to ice-sheets and glaciers past and present are particularly encouraged, in particular those considering ice streams, rapid change, grounding line motion and ice-sheet model intercomparisons.

happy new year

[CRYOLIST] Mountain climate session at EGU2016

(Just a reminder... apologies for cross-posting!)

Dear Colleagues,

Sven Kotlarski, Nick Pepin, Walter Immerzeel, Douglas Maraun, Heimo Truhetz and myself invite you to submit contributions to the new session on
"Mountain climates: processes and change" (CL4.08/AS1.13/BG4.14/CR1.12) at the upcoming European Geosciences Union General Assembly, 17. - 22. April 2016 in Vienna.

The session is devoted to a better understanding of processes constituting climate and climate change in mountain and high elevation areas around the globe. It targets to scientists from climate, atmospheric, hydrological, cryospheric and ecological sciences.

Session link: http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/21125

Session Details:
Mountain climate shows high spatial variability due to complexities in terrain, steep (yet temporally variable) vertical gradients in climate elements, and inhomogeneities induced by transitions with elevation to the cryosphere and between vegetation zones. The resulting patterns of climate and climate change are often highly complex and very demanding in terms of monitoring, modeling, and analysis.

This session is devoted to a better understanding of climate processes and their modification induced by global environmental change in mountain and high elevation areas around the globe. We invite contributions that investigate climate processes and climate change in mountainous areas, based on monitoring (in situ and remotely-sensed observations) and/or modeling activities. Particularly welcome are contributions that merge various sources of information (modeling, monitoring) and reach across disciplinary borders (atmospheric, hydrological, cryospheric and ecological sciences) to cover new ground in the understanding of mountain climate and mountain climate change. Contributions on the social implications of climate change are out of the scope of this session and should be submitted to session CL4.09.

Looking forward to meeting you in Vienna!
Andreas

[CRYOLIST] Arctic climate change session CL2.08 at EGU 2016

EGU: 17 - 22 April 2016

Deadline for abstract submission: 13 January 2016, 13:00 CET

CL2.08 Arctic climate change: governing mechanisms and global implications

Convener: Richard Bintanja

Co-convener: Rune Grand Graversen

This session is about Arctic climate change, its causes, and its implications

One of the most striking features of global climate change is the strongly amplified response of surface air temperature in the Arctic and the associated strong decline in sea ice. Both observational and climate modeling studies have shown that the Arctic is a region very susceptible to climate change; moreover, changes occurring in the Arctic are likely to have more wide-spread implications. Arctic amplification manifests itself in a number of ways, most notably in the current retreat and thinning of Arctic sea ice. A variety of processes and feedbacks have been proposed that contribute to amplified Arctic warming, most of them associated with sea ice. The most well-known is the surface-albedo feedback, which is associated with retreating sea-ice and snow cover. While most climate models exhibit an Arctic amplification signal with respect to ongoing and future changes, the inter-model range in simulated amplification is large, suggesting that the magnitudes of the various feedbacks contributing to Arctic warming and the role of sea ice therein are still uncertain. This session specifically aims to identify, characterize and quantify the processes and feedbacks that govern amplified Arctic warming, and it also covers the climate impacts on the lower latitudes associated with Arctic changes (for instance the relation between sea ice reductions, heat flux changes and atmospheric circulation changes beyond the Arctic region). We therefore invite contributions on the causes, mechanisms and climate feedbacks associated with Arctic climate change and sea ice decline, and the possible links to weather and climate outside the Arctic. We welcome studies based both on climate model results and/or observational datasets, for near-past, present and future climate changes.

[CRYOLIST] EGU 2016 Session: Antarctic palaeoclimates, sea level change and ice dynamics in past warm episodes: marrying models and data

Dear colleagues,

 

Please consider submitting your abstract to EGU2016 (17-22 April in Vienna, Austria) to the following session:

 

CL1.12/CR1.17/OS1.11

Antarctic palaeoclimates, sea level change and ice dynamics in past warm episodes: marrying models and data (co-organized)

 

Convener: Peter Bijl

Co-Conveners: Carlota Escutia, Aisling Dolan

 

Evidence from field observations of sedimentological records alongside geochemical, microfossil and seismic data analysis suggests that the entire Cenozoic Antarctic ice sheet witnessed several episodes of dramatic waxing and waning in concert with evidence for climates moderately warmer than today. In contrast, numerical modelling studies have not always been able to predict such dynamic behaviour given reasonable climate forcings. In general, the causes and consequences of major ice sheet volume and sea level changes in the past are often poorly understood. This session aims to bring together research fields of numerical ice sheet, climate and oceanographic modelling and field/ proxy data, as a way to foster model-data comparison. We invite submissions that aim to present new insights from improved numerical modelling experiments of ice sheet, oceanographic and sea ice dynamics as well as those presenting new field data from sedimentary records around the Antarctic Margin (e.g., those from Integrated Ocean drilling program Leg 318 to the Wilkes Land Margin, ANDRILL and their predecessors) or proxy data pertaining to conditions in the Southern Ocean. We welcome research from all areas related to ice sheet dynamics, e.g. bedrock responses to ice sheet changes, the gravitational isostatic responses to glaciation, potential thresholds in climate (induced by orbit or carbon dioxide changes). Submissions considering both proxy-evidence and modelling studies are encouraged.

 

For our session, we have the following invited speakers confirmed: Dr. Francesca Sangiorgi from Utrecht University, Prof. Ulrich Salzmann from Northumbria University and Dr.

Steven Bohaty from Southampton University. All speakers will present their latest findings.

 

The deadline for abstract submission is January 13th, 13:00.

 

Abstract submission guidance is here: http://egu2016.eu/abstract_management/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html

 

We hope to see you in Vienna!

 

Regards,

 

Peter Bijl, Carlota Escutia and Aisling Dolan

 

[CRYOLIST] Open PhD position in the field of glacier-climate interaction at ETH Zurich

The Glaciology Group within the Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and
Glaciology (VAW) invites applications for a

PhD Position in the Field of Glacier-Climate Interaction

We are looking for a candidate who is interested in taking part in the
research project "Resolving the paradox of the Little Ice Age in Europe:
Why glacier retreat started before atmospheric warming" which is
supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation. We aim at explaining
the climatological reasons for the rapid advance of glaciers in the Alps
during the Little Ice Age (around 1850) and their subsequent fast
decline, which represents a long-standing problem in glaciology. The
basic approach is to couple models for the changes in surface mass
balance to a dynamic ice-flow model, and to compare calculated glacier
changes to observational evidence from the Little Ice Age period. The
PhD candidate will contribute to the development of a new process-based
model that is able to account for the effects of variations in solar
irradiance on glacier melt, the time-varying effect of surface
impurities on snow and ice albedo, and the advance and retreat of the
glacier termini in the European Alps. A variety of long-term
climatological and glaciological data sets allows attributing glacier
response to a combination of different climatic forcing mechanisms –
temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, surface impurities/albedo.
The PhD student will be supervised by Dr. Matthias Huss, Prof. Martin
Funk and Dr. Hilmar Gudmundsson (British Antarctic Survey).

The ideal candidate has a master degree either in earth sciences,
atmospheric sciences, geophysics, physics, or a related field, and a
keen interest in the modelling of glaciological processes. Previous
experience in computer modelling and scientific programming languages
(Matlab, IDL, and Python) is highly recommended. Good writing and
communication skills as well as the motivation to collaborate within an
interdisciplinary research framework are essential. Experience in alpine
environments and the will to contribute to field work within the
glaciology group of VAW/ETHZ are a plus.

Please visit this page to apply for the position:
http://www.eth-gethired.ch/jobs/phd_position_in_the_field_of_glacier_climate_interaction/32352

For further information please contact Dr. Matthias Huss, by e-mail

[CRYOLIST] EGU session: CL4.02/OS1.9 Interactions and feedbacks between land ice, sea ice and ocean in the Arctic

Dear all

As you probably all are aware the deadline of EGU-2016 is coming up and we would love to see many of you at the interdisciplinary session CL4.02/OS1.9 on interactions and feedbacks between land ice, sea ice and ocean in the Arctic.

The abstract is attached below and can also be found here: http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/20063

Sincerly and happy new years 

Helle Kjær, Ruth Mottram and Kerim Nisancioglu

CL4.02/OS1.9

Interactions and feedbacks between land ice, sea ice and ocean in the Arctic 
Although Arctic sea ice extent and variability of the past 40-50 years is well known, the processes that influence the stability of Arctic sea ice, as well as the stratification of the Arctic ocean, are poorly resolved. At the same time, little is known about past sea ice variability, or how this variability has influenced ice masses such as the Greenland ice sheet.
This session focuses on the interplay and feedbacks between land ice, sea ice and ocean in the polar regions. Sediment records and ice cores can help identify past changes in both land and sea ice, and several new proxies of paleo sea ice extent are under development. Further, the representation of sea ice extent and its variability in coupled climate models is improving and can help us understand the interplay between the ocean, sea ice, atmosphere and land ice. 
In this interdisciplinary session hosted by the ERC SyG project ice2ice we invite contributions from scientists working in the field of Arctic ocean, atmosphere an cryosphere to discuss past, present and future sea ice variability and their implications for climate as well as the mass balance of land based ice sheets.

[CRYOLIST] Session "Cold Flows" at CMG 2016

Dear colleagues,

Happy New Year!

We invite you to submit an abstract to the session "2d. Cold Flows" at
the 31st Conference on Mathematical Geophysics (CMG). The conference
will be held at the Institut Henri Poincaré (IHP) in Paris, France, from
June 6 to June 10, 2016.

Conference website: http://cmg2016.sciencesconf.org

Session conveners:
Jérôme Weiss (IsTerre, Grenoble)
Ralf Greve (Hokkaido University, Japan)

Solicited Speaker: Agnieszka Herman (University of Gdansk, Poland)

Keywords: Ice dynamics, glacial flow, snow, sea ice, planetary ices

Description: Cold flows comprise gravitationally driven flows of ice
sheets, ice caps, glaciers and ice shelves, summarised as glacial flow.
Of further interest is the flow of ice-air-water mixtures driven by
gravity or atmospheric/oceanic circulation, most prominently represented
by drifting snow, snow avalanches, sea ice and ice mélange. In planetary
environments, non-H2O ices play a role, such as the recently discovered
nitrogen-ice glaciers on Pluto. This session solicits contributions on
theoretical, observational and laboratory work as well as modelling
studies related to these phenomena.

You will find LaTeX and Word templates on the conference website, where
the abstracts should be uploaded in pdf format. Abstract submission will
close on January 15, 2016.

We are looking forward to your contributions.

Yours sincerely,

Ralf Greve

[CRYOLIST] Happy 2016!

Happy New Year's Cryolisters!

One of my New Year's resolutions is to make the last 12 years of data that I've collected on
McCall Glacier more accessible and useful to the broader scientific community. Towards that end,
I am now making available data from about 20 weather stations I've maintained there since 2003.
You can find station descriptions and metadata at the bottom of this page
http://drmattnolan.com/mccall-glacier/data , following a description of what I have in mind to
roll it out. At this point I'm essentially soliciting for beta users that can do whatever science
they want with it in exchange for feedback in cleaning up the data further. It's mostly in pretty
good shape, but I think some further use by others will help stumble across the rough spots or
catch issues that I missed, as these are all research-grade sites run by a one man show. On the
upside, there are at least a couple of theses and a ton of undergraduate projects there, let alone
what's possible when incorporating these data into broader-scale studies. You'll see that you
need FTP credentials to download the data – just email me a few sentences describing your interest
and I will send them to you. I'm not going to turn anyone down, but as there are several groups
already using the data, I'm just trying to provide some short-term coordination. My goal is that
perhaps by mid-summer to turn these data over to some central data center for archival and
distribution, but I know nothing about how to go about that so I am also hoping someone out there
can help me.

As a number of you know, I've always been very open to collaboration on McCall Glacier and have
brought over 30 field scientists from around the world to the glacier over the years. With such a
robust data set in hand now, I think there is a lot that McCall Glacier can now offer the modeling
community too. For example, along with these met data, I have 12 years of seasonal mass balance
and velocity data on stake networks of 30-60 poles, volume change data including seasonal
centerline GPS transects since 2003 and at least annual DEMs since 2008, ice temperature data to
the bottom in 3 locations and near surface in 6 locations, a deep ice core for paleoclimate,
shallow ice cores through the firn annually since 2008 at 3 locations coincident with thermistor
strings, outlines of 400+ glaciers made from 2 m DEMs, and lots of other process studies and
auxiliary data, not to mention the preposterously awesome satellite remote sensing data now
available such as from Landsat 8 and Worldview. My hope is that by the end of 2016 to have these
data in a similar state as the weather station data, and then turn them over to someone for
long-term archival and distribution. But in the meantime, as always, if you have any ideas for
collaborations, please let me know.

In any case, I hope 2016 will see continued growth of cryospheric science and success in your
scientific goals, and that hopefully by this time next year we'll see some results from new
collaborators who put these McCall Glacier data to their best use.

Cheers,
Matt
