[CRYOLIST] IAHS Scientific Assembly in Port Elizabeth, 10-14 July 2017

Dear Colleagues,

Not only is the International Commission for Snow and Ice Hydrology sponsoring two sessions at the IAHS 2017 Scientific Assembly in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, 10-14 July 2017 (#14 Advances in cold-region hydrological models: Integration of process understanding and application to climate and landcover changes and #15 Operational snowmelt runoff modelling: Advances and prospects for water management), we are also co-sponsoring the session:

#9 Innovative ICT tools for water management and science

(session description below).

Please consider submitting an abstract (deadline 6th March 2017). A full description of the meeting is available here: http://cwrr.ukzn.ac.za/iahs/call-for-papers/overview-of-scientific-programme. It would be great to see you there!

With best wishes,

Mel

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The importance of developing innovative Information and Communication Technology tools has been recently widely recognized in both water management and open science. The needs of including the stakeholders (water providers, customers, policy makers, scientists) in the full water management decision process (from model development to decision making) has become more evident. As an example, the European Union specifically supports participatory approaches and evidence-based decision making in water resources management (see e.g. the ICT4Water cluster). In parallel, user-driven virtual water-science laboratories are being developed to encourage more openness in science (see e.g. CUAHSI). The aim is to facilitate sharing of new findings earlier in the discovery process, and to ensure reproducibility of computational experiments.
 
This session encourages contributions from all over the world where advanced ICT tools have been either developed or applied in an innovative way to support stakeholder involvement and discussion, either for water resources management decisions or news forms of research. The expected ICT tools presented can include:

• Development and experience from using new hydrological software to facilitate water management or research.
• Innovative ideas on how to enhance participation in water resources management or virtual water-science laboratories (for example, innovative web-applications).
• Data sharing solutions to facilitate data exchange between researchers, stakeholders, and policy makers.
• ICT tools to better connect different water sectors, such as the well-known water-food-energy nexus.
• ICT tools to overcome geographical distance between scientists in comparative hydrology and to share joint protocols for model inter-comparison projects.
• ICT tools to communicate what water and other natural resources mean to people in terms of survival, economics, beauty and enjoyment.

[CRYOLIST] Postdoctoral scholarship - Laboratoire de Glaciologie ULB

Postdoctoral scholarship – Monitoring melt where Ice Meets Ocean (MIMO)

Laboratoire de Glaciologie, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB)

The Laboratoire de Glaciologie of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) is seeking to fill a 3-year postdoctoral scholarship in ice shelf remote sensing and modelling, starting around June 2017. We seek a person with a background in remote sensing (interferometry) and ice dynamics (modelling). The project is within the framework of a collaboration between ULB, the Centre Spatial de Liège (CSL, Belgium) and the Alfred Wegener Institute (Germany).

Brussels is a lively, well-connected city with a large international community located in the center of Europe. The Laboratoire de Glaciologie has a long-term experience in ice sheet dynamics, especially the Antarctic ice sheet through ice-sheet/ice-shelf modelling, field geophysics and remote sensing. A more detailed project description is given below. For more information about the project, about the Laboratoire de Glaciologie and about living in Brussels please contact Prof. Frank PATTYN (fpattyn@ulb.ac.be).

Project description

Antarctic ice mass loss is governed through ice streams discharging into floating ice shelves. Ice shelves play a crucial role in regulating this ice transfer towards the ocean by ice-shelf buttressing. Thinning of ice shelves largely depends on processes that act from atop (surface melt) and below (bottom melting in contact with the ocean). 

The MIMO project aims at quantifying basal melt of ice shelves surrounding the Antarctic ice sheet at high spatial and temporal resolution (monitoring) and at deriving improved parametrizations for use in ice sheet modelling studies. The latter will also be implemented in a large-scale ice-sheet model and compared to currently available datasets. Since basal melting under ice shelves is not only a great unknown, its spatial and temporal change is even more so. Up to now, basal ice-shelf melt has either been determined for small-scale studies or with limiting temporal scale. CSL developed a complete interferometric SAR suite, including a coherence tracking module. This module will be adapted to handle Sentinel TopSAR data.

The successful candidate will ensure the further development of a mass conservation method in which basal melting closes the mass budget calculated from the known variables of surface velocities, ice thickness and surface-mass balance. Ice thickness will be inferred from Tandem-X data (AWI) and corrected for surface density variations (based on existing data, both from remote sensing and geophysics). Surface mass balance stems from atmospheric modelling results. The first part of the project aims at developing the methodology for a given target area (Roi Baudouin Ice Shelf, Antarctica), and further apply the methodology to a larger domain of East-Antarctic ice shelves. For the target area, the Laboratoire de Glaciologie is currently monitoring melt rates using phase-sensitive radar and this monitoring will most likely be extended to other ice shelves as well in near future.

Candidature

Applicants should email a cover letter, full Curriculum Vitae and at least one reference letter at the address below by March 20, 2017 (closing date). The desired qualifications are a PhD in glaciology, geophysics, or an equivalent geoscience, with good programming skills in a Matlab/Python environment.

Eligibility

The postdoctoral scholarship requirements are the following:

• The candidate should hold a PhD degree for less than 8 years
• Should respect the conditions of international mobility, i.e., should not have resided or carried out his/her main activity (employment, studies) in Belgium during a period longer than 24 months over the last 3 years that precede the start of the postdoctoral scholarship.

Specialities of the research group

The GEMICE group (Geophysics and Modelling of Ice) is specialized in the development and application of numerical ice sheet and ice shelf models, applied to specific glaciological problems, such as grounding lines, ice streams, ice sheet/ice shelf transitions, subglacial lake interconnection, subglacial polythermal conditions etc.

[CRYOLIST] PhD project on data-driven upscaling of permafrost carbon fluxes

PhD project on data-driven upscaling of permafrost carbon fluxes

 

The Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena, Germany, currently has an opening for a PhD project starting in summer or fall of 2017. We seek an enthusiastic student who will explore different pathways to optimize the use of observational data to constrain regional to pan-Arctic scale carbon budgets. As a core technique, this project will use data-driven approaches to assimilate information from various ground-based and remote sensing data sources to constrain greenhouse gas budgets. We will test what information is needed to adequately capture the dominating controls for carbon fluxes within permafrost landscapes, and also what is required to describe their spatio-temporal variability. Based on the findings, modeling frameworks will be restructured to improve representation of ecosystem characteristics. A direct comparison of data-driven approaches with process-based models and atmospheric inversion, both of which are covered by ongoing research within this research group, is regarded as a first step towards integrating these approaches into a unified framework, and therefore maximizing data assimilation on carbon processes in the Arctic. More information on this project, including required qualifications, can be found through this link:

 

http://www.imprs-gbgc.de/applications/imprs2017jan/projectdescriptions_outputone.php?PN=A2

 

This position is initially funded for three years. The successful candidate will be enrolled as a member of our institute's graduate program, the international Max Planck Research School for global biogeochemical cycles (IMPRS-gBGC, http://www.imprs-gbgc.de/index.php/Main/Home). To apply, please go to the IMPRS webpage (http://www.imprs-gbgc.de/index.php/Application/HowTo), where the required documentation as well as the application procedure is described in detail. Application deadline is March 15, 2017.
