[CRYOLIST] CMOS 2020 session on "Monitoring and Modelling Cryospheric Change"

Dear Cryo-list members:

Please consider submitting an abstract to the session titled "S29. Monitoring and Modelling Cryospheric Change" at the upcoming Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS) Congress in Ottawa, from May 24-28, 2020. Submission deadline is February 14, 2020, and abstracts can be submitted at https://congress.cmos.ca/.

  S29. Monitoring and Modelling Cryospheric Change 
The cryosphere is transforming in response to global climate change, with widespread impacts on climate, hydrology, landscapes, and northern communities. Snow, ice and frozen ground are defining features of the world's mountain and Arctic regions, but their remoteness also makes them difficult to access for monitoring and process studies. Integrated remote sensing and modelling studies grounded in in situ field data are greatly needed to improve observational and predictive capacity for monitoring cryospheric response to climate change. This session is open to all aspects of modelling or monitoring of seasonal snow, lake/river ice, sea ice, permafrost, and glaciers and their interaction with the broader Earth system. We welcome contributions addressing the integration of observational and modelling studies as well as fundamental research that examines recent cryospheric change and projected sensitivity of the cryosphere to future climate change. We particularly encourage discussions of new and developing sensor technologies (e.g., satellite and drone imagery, in situ instrumentation), advanced modelling approaches, and the creation of new cryospheric observational capacities through community partnerships.

Speaker: Jim Thomson, Senior Principal Oceanographer at the University of Washington
Presentation Title: Ocean Waves in the New Arctic
Webinar Registration

---

The Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) announces the next Arctic Research Seminar featuring Jim Thomson, Senior Principal Oceanographer at the University of Washington's Applied Physics Lab and a Professor in the Dept. of Civil & Environmental Engineering.

This event will be held online via Zoom on Friday, 7 February 2020 at 09:00 a.m. AKST (1:00 p.m. EST).

Registration is required for this event.

The ARCUS Arctic Research Seminar Series invites leading Arctic researchers and community leaders to share the latest findings in Arctic research and what they mean for decision-making. The events are free and open to the public, and will be of particular interest to the international Arctic research community, Arctic educators, non-governmental organizations, federal agency officials, and the public.

This seminar, titled Ocean Waves in the New Arctic will be presented by Jim Thomson, Senior Principal Oceanographer at the University of Washington. Dr. Thomson studied Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering in MIT's joint program with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, receiving a PhD in 2006. Dr. Thomson studies waves and turbulence at the surface of the ocean, including interactions with sea ice. His work emphasizes field measurements and physical processes and includes the development of instrumentation and autonomous platforms.

Seminar Abstract:

The rapid decline of summer sea ice cover in the Western Arctic has been accompanied by a dramatic increase in the sea state of the region. Ocean waves are now more common throughout the region, including multiple energetic swell events each summer. These waves interact with the sea ice and help to both form and define the expanding Marginal Ice Zone of the Western Arctic. This seminar will review recent work to observe and forecast changes in the Arctic sea state, including implications for sea ice retreat and coastal morphology.

We seek two postdoctoral researchers for an integrated, multi-disciplinary study of Helheim Glacier, East Greenland. The selected candidates will work within a broad research team with expertise spanning ocean and ice sheet/ocean interactions to surface ice sheet hydrology and large-scale Arctic atmospheric processes. The positions will divide across ice sheet modeling (UC Irvine) and fjord ocean modeling (Oregon State University). These institutions represent a subset of many working on this project, and the expectation will be for close collaboration both amongst multiple institutions and across disciplines. The ultimate aim of the project is to improve understanding of processes occurring at the marine margin of Helheim Glacier, East Greenland in order to constrain the mechanisms that drive glacier dynamic and mass variability. The start dates for both positions is Spring 2020 or soon thereafter.

Fjord Modeling: This position will be located at  Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. The appointment is initially for one year with an expectation of a second year upon demonstration of satisfactory progress.  The successful candidate will formulate and analyze high-resolution ocean-ice coupled simulations to explore the physical processes regulating heat and freshwater delivery within the Sermilik fjord. Applicants must have completed a PhD in oceanography or closely related area by the start of the project. Those with experience with numerical modeling are encouraged to apply. Applicants must submit a single pdf containing 1) a  cover letter, 2) a curriculum vitae, 3) names and contact information for three  professional references, and 4) a research statement describing academic achievements and future directions to Emily Shroyer (emily.shroyer@oregonstate.edu). Ice Sheet Modeling: the postdoc opportunity is at UCI (Irvine, California) under the supervision of Mathieu Morlighem (http://sites.uci.edu/morlighem/) and will rely on the Ice Sheet System Model (http://issm.jpl.nasa.gov) developed jointly with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The term of appointment at UCI is initially for 1 year with an extension to up to 3 years, subject to satisfactory progress and available funding UCI.  Applications are invited from creative self-motivated candidates with a deep interest in Earth systems modeling/science. The exact requirements for each post are listed on the web page, but applicants must have completed a PhD in glaciology, applied mathematics, geophysics, or closely related areas by the start of the project. Applicants must also be interested in working in a collaborative environment on computationally intensive projects.
