[CRYOLIST] AGU 2020 Fall Meeting Session - Biogeochemical Dynamics in Glacial Ecosystems driven by Climate Change

Dear colleagues,

 

We would like to draw your attention to the following session at the AGU 2020 Fall Meeting being held on 7 – 11 December 2020. This year's meeting will be mainly virtual and will have reduced registration rates.

 

Biogeochemical dynamics in glacial ecosystems driven by climate change (B014)

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/prelim.cgi/Session/101735

Glaciers and ice sheets, the Earth's largest freshwater reservoirs, are drastically changing in response to climatic warming. Rising temperatures and anthropogenic influences on glaciers in polar and mountain regions enhance microbial growth leading to intensified biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen. Surface and subglacial biogeochemical processes affect downstream ecosystems: for example, microbial growth and particulates lead to reduced albedo on glacial surfaces, increased meltwater generation and changes to organic matter flux, potentially enhancing subglacial greenhouse gas production. Recent advances in molecular techniques and high-resolution chemical analysis significantly improve our understanding of biogeochemical cycling, helping to integrate data into global models. In this session, we invite observational, experimental, and modelling contributions that lead to a better understanding of biogeochemical cycles driven by microbial communities in glacial ecosystems. We encourage submissions that provide insight into carbon and macro/micro-nutrient exchange, microbial activity, and microbial community connections in supraglacial, subglacial and downstream ecosystems through space and time.

 

Conveners: Matthias Winkel (GFZ-Potsdam), Trinity Hamilton (University of Minnesota), Jon Hawkings (Florida State University/GFZ-Potsdam) and Trista Vick-Majors (Michigan Tech)

 

We would be delighted if you consider submitting an abstract. The deadline for submissions is July 29^th (11.59 PM EDT). Please forward this message to any colleagues who you think might be interested.

 

Best wishes,

Matthias, Trinity, Jon and Tristy

[CRYOLIST] JGR special collection on Modeling in Glaciology

Dear All,

We'd like to draw your attention to a new special collection on Modeling in Glaciology that will span four JGR journals - GRL, JAMES, JGR Earth Surface and JGR Oceans. Its overarching goal is to bring together new research showcasing modeling as a powerful and versatile tool for addressing diverse problems in glaciology, provide a snapshot of the current state of modeling and demonstrate the significant progress that has been made in the field.

We solicit manuscripts on new advances in modeling of any kind (e.g., theoretical, numerical, inverse, stochastic, standalone, coupled, etc.) that improve understanding of any aspect of glaciology and the interactions of glaciers and ice sheets with the broader Earth system.  Papers can be submitted between 01 September 2020 and 01 September 2021 to the most appropriate journal.  

The following Eos Editor's Vox post provides a more detail description 

https://eos.org/editors-vox/modeling-a-powerful-and-versatile-tool-in-glaciology

This is an electronic collection only, i.e. papers will be published at the time of acceptance in respective journals but will be tagged as a part of the collection and will be easily discoverable through the special collection.

Sincerely,

Olga Sergienko (Editor, JGR-Earth Surface)

[CRYOLIST] BACO-21 cancellation and replacement

It is with regret that the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS), along with the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS) and the  International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans (IAPSO), announce the cancellation of the BACO-21 joint assembly in Busan, Republic of Korea. The next time that IACS will meet in person will be at the IUGG 2023 General Assembly in Berlin. We thank the local organizers for their work and look forward to the possibility of a future meeting in Busan.

 

To fill the 18-23 July 2021 slot vacated by BACO-21, we plan to host a series of online seminars and events featuring invited senior and early career speakers. Details will follow.

[CRYOLIST] AGU2020 Session - Cryospheric change and its impact on the High-Mountain Water Cycle

Dear colleagues,

like every year we are hoping to welcome you to our high-mountain water cycle session at AGU this fall. We are looking forward to the conference in its new format with all the challenges and opportunities it will bring. The two invited speakers will be Kelly Gleason from Portland State University and Amato Evan from UC San Diego.  

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/prelim.cgi/Session/103084

 Deadline for submissions of abstracts is the 29^th of July.

 Session Details:

High-mountain catchments play an important water supplying role and are sensitive to climate change. Yet the monitoring and modeling of such regions remains a challenge, due to poor accessibility, limited data availability and the lack of numerical models that address key cryospheric and hydrological processes in sufficient physical detail. This session brings together studies that focus on integrating observations, remote sensing and numerical models with the aim to understand present and future glacio-, hydro- and meteorological processes in mountainous regions. It focuses on advances in understanding high-altitude meteorology, feedbacks between the cryosphere and atmosphere, glacier and snow dynamics, climate change impacts and the associated hydrological response. The session welcomes in particular studies that: i) link results from atmospheric modeling to the high-altitude water cycle, (ii) advance the process understanding of glaciers, snow and the hydrological cycle, (iii) quantify hydro-meteorological extremes, and (iv) assess impacts of climate change using process-based modeling.

 On behalf of all the conveners:

David Rounce, Carnegie Mellon University

Summer Rupper, University of Utah

Nick Siler, Oregon State University

[CRYOLIST] IGS British Branch / UK Antarctic Science Conferences 2020 to 2022

Dear All,

 

Unfortunately, as many of you may already have suspected, the University of Edinburgh is no longer able to host the planned consecutive meetings of the IGS British Branch and UK Antarctic Science Conference this coming September.

 

We are now working with the IGS Early-Career Glaciology Group (EGG) and colleagues in the National Committee for Antarctic Research (NCAR) on some online alternatives to both meetings for later in the year. The details are to be confirmed and will come to this distribution list in due course, but they will now be separate meetings, and not tied to the previously circulated dates in early September.

 

Looking to 2021 and 2022, I’m pleased to notify you that the IGSBB committee have agreed that the University of Liverpool will host a September 2021 IGS British Branch (exact dates tbc), and that we at Edinburgh are now working on remounting a combined IGS British Branch / UK Antarctic Science Conference for 29 August – 2 September 2022.

 

Very best wishes and stay safe,

 

Rob

[CRYOLIST] AGU Fall Meeting 2020 - Session on gravity and magnetic field surveys of the cryosphere

Dear colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting),

We kindly invite you participate in and submit an abstract to our AGU Fall Meeting session "Applications of gravity and magnetic field surveys of the cryosphere". We encourage contributions from research using potential field methods in Antarctica, Greenland, or any region of the cryosphere. See below for the full session description. Please note that the deadline for abstract submission is Wednesday 29th July 2020. The link to the session is:

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/prelim.cgi/Session/101853

Please forward to any contacts you think may be interested, and please get touch if you have any questions (constantino@ldeo.columbia.edu).

We look forward to seeing you (virtually) in December!

Best regards,

The Session Conveners

(Renata Constantino, Yasmina Martos, Jamin Greenbaum, Guy Paxman)

**Session Description**

Satellite, airborne, and marine surveys of the gravitational and magnetic fields are a vital tool in developing our understanding of Earth structure in the polar regions, solid Earth - ice sheet interactions, and consequently our ability to predict future cryospheric change.  The quantity of potential field data acquired over the cryosphere has increased dramatically in the past decade, and the application of forward and inverse methods to these datasets has been crucial in developing new models of geophysical and geological structures. This session aims to bring together research that uses gravity and/or magnetic analyses over the cryosphere. In particular, we welcome submissions that: develop new crustal/lithospheric models based on singular or joint interpretation of potential field datasets, present or utilize ocean or sub-ice shelf bathymetry models from gravity inversion methods, and/or constrain subglacial geological structure. We also encourage contributions from any studies using potential field methods for polar research.
