[CRYOLIST] Reminder: Call for abstracts EGU22: Ice-sheet and climate interactions

Dear Colleagues,

Abstract submission is still open for the EGU General Assembly 2022, and we cordially invite you to contribute to the following session that will take place in Vienna on 3-8 April 2022.

Ice-sheet and climate interactions CR4.1/CL1.1/OS1

Ice sheets play an active role in the climate system by amplifying, pacing, and potentially driving global climate change over a wide range of time scales. The impact of interactions between ice sheets and climate include changes in atmospheric and ocean temperatures and circulation, global biogeochemical cycles, the global hydrological cycle, vegetation, sea level, and land-surface albedo, which in turn cause additional feedbacks in the climate system. This session will present data and modelling results that examine ice sheet interactions with other components of the climate system over several time scales. Among other topics, issues to be addressed in this session include ice sheet-climate interactions from glacial-interglacial to millennial and centennial time scales, the role of ice sheets in Cenozoic global cooling and the mid-Pleistocene transition, reconstructions of past ice sheets and sea level, the current and future evolution of the ice sheets, and the role of ice sheets in abrupt climate change.

[CRYOLIST] GEEDiT version 2 release

Dear all,

I’m very pleased to let you know that the new version of GEEDiT (Google Earth Engine Digitisation Tool) went live on Friday. The purpose of this web-based tool is to provide a means for rapid visualisation and manual digitisation of earth surface margins from full resolution satellite imagery (without the need to download it), appending standardised metadata to digitised margins. Examples of applications of version 1 have included digitising glacier margins, snowlines, lake outlines, landforms, and river channels amongst other features.

The new version has several improvements to functionality and hopefully makes the tool easier and quicker to use than version 1. A few of the main updates are:

Inclusion of ASTER satellite data as an option for visualisation, in addition to Landsats 4-8 and Sentinels 1-2
Improved margin drawing tools, removing the lag time between users digitising points and them appearing on screen
Option to digitise polygons
Ability to edit margins that have already been digitised
Extra image quality flag options that are automatically appended as metadata
Addition of a time field as metadata, recording HH:mm:ss of image acquisition (UTC timezone)
Changes to code structure to prevent appearance of “Page unresponsive” browser warnings
Addition of option to skip to images that are temporally closest to a user defined date
Option to revisualise margins that have already been digitised
Option to compare a visualised image with those that immediately precede/follow it.

The tool can be accessed via the links on the webpage: https://liverpoolgee.wordpress.com/geedit-geedit-reviewer/

A video walkthrough of how to use the new version can also be found in this twitter thread: https://twitter.com/JamesMLea/status/1479414214649384963

If you use the tool, please continue to cite the original Earth Surface Dynamics paper: https://esurf.copernicus.org/articles/6/551/2018/

If you spot any bugs/strange behaviour, or have suggestions for further improvements please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Also, if you have previously found GEEDiT useful in your research or teaching I’d really appreciate it if you sent a quick message (j.lea@liverpool.ac.uk). It’s always great to hear about how the tool is being used, and hopefully it will also help guide future improvements.

All the best, and happy new year,

James

[CRYOLIST] EGU session deadline 12 Jan, Rapid changes in sea ice: processes and implications

Dear colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract to the session

Rapid changes in sea ice: processes and implications

at the upcoming hybrid EGU 2022 General Assembly in Vienna (3-8 April 2022).

The abstract submission deadline: 12th January 2022 (13:00 CET)

Session description:

Recent years have seen significant reductions in Arctic sea ice extent, and a redistribution of sea ice in the Antarctic. Climate projections suggest a reduction of the sea ice cover in both poles, with the Arctic becoming seasonally ice free in the latter half of this century.

The scientific community is investing considerable effort in organising our current knowledge of the physical and biogeochemical properties of sea ice, exploring poorly understood sea ice processes (e.g. MOSAiC), and forecasting future changes of the sea ice cover, such as in CMIP6.

In this session, we invite contributions regarding all aspects of sea ice science and sea ice-climate interactions, including snow and sea ice thermodynamics and dynamics, sea ice-atmosphere and sea ice-ocean interactions, sea ice biological and chemical processes, and sea ice models. A focus on emerging processes and implications is particularly welcome.

You can find further information about the session and the abstract submission here:

[CRYOLIST] EGU22 session CR4.3/OS1 "Ice shelves and tidewater glaciers - dynamics, interactions, observations, modelling"

Dear Colleagues,

The countdown to the deadline for abstract submissions (12 January 2022, 13:00 CET) has started and we invite you warmly to submit contributions to the session CR4.3/OS1 "Ice shelves and tidewater glaciers - dynamics, interactions, observations, modelling" at EGU General Assembly 2022 that will take place in Vienna on 3-8 April 2022:

Ice shelves and tidewater glaciers are sensitive elements of the climate system. Sandwiched between atmosphere and ocean, they are vulnerable to changes in either. The recent disintegration of ice shelves such as Larsen B and Wilkins on the Antarctic Peninsula, current thinning of the ice shelves in the Amundsen Sea sector of West Antarctica, and the recent accelerations of many of Greenland's tidewater glaciers provide evidence of the rapidity with which those systems can respond. Changes in marine-terminating outlets appear to be intimately linked with acceleration and thinning of the ice sheets inland of the grounding line, with immediate consequences for global sea level. Studies of the dynamics and structure of the ice sheets' marine termini and their interactions with atmosphere and ocean are the key to improving our understanding of their response to climate forcing and of their buttressing role for ice streams. The main themes of this session are the dynamics of ice shelves a
nd tidewater glaciers and their interaction with the ocean, atmosphere and the inland ice, including grounding line dynamics. The session includes studies on related processes such as calving, ice fracture, rifting and mass balance, as well as theoretical descriptions of mechanical and thermodynamic processes. We seek contributions both from numerical modelling of ice shelves and tidewater glaciers, including their oceanic and atmospheric environments, and from observational studies of those systems, including glaciological and oceanographic field measurements, as well as remote sensing and laboratory studies.

The session site with the abstract submission link can be found at: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU22/session/42523

We are looking forward to your contributions!

Best regards,

Inga Monika Koszalka, Nicolas Jourdain, Adrian Jenkins, Rachel Carr, Angelika Humbert

[CRYOLIST] EGU Session SSP3.6 - Glacial Lake Outburst Events

Dear colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract to the session "Advances in understanding glacial outburst flood processes and dynamics" at the upcoming EGU 2022 General Assembly in Vienna (3-8 April 2022).

High magnitude freshwater floods associated with the decay of ice masses have been widespread in Earth's history and pose a major hazard in mountain regions today. Such floods are commonly sourced from moraine-, rock- or ice-dammed lakes, as well as from volcanic eruptions beneath ice. Catastrophic outbursts can transform landscapes and create complex networks of spillways with characteristic erosional and depositional forms. Extreme examples have forced abrupt climate change by disrupting ocean circulation with global consequences.

This session welcomes (i) field and modeling-based research developments, (ii) advances in process understanding, and (iii) assessment of hazards associated with outburst floods. We encourage contributions from present-day and paleo settings, and especially those focusing on interactions between outburst flood events, geomorphic process and landscape evolution.

Please find further information about the session and the abstract submission here:

https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU22/session/43237

Abstract submission deadline: 12th January 2022 (13:00 CET)
