[CRYOLIST] abstracts for OSM-2018 session on coastal buoyancy-driven flows

If you study plumes from glaciers/ice shelves/Arctic rivers, high-latitude coastal currents, or other polar buoyancy-driven flows:  please consider submitting an abstract to the session on "The Dynamics of Estuaries and Coastal Buoyancy-driven Flows" at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Portland, OR (11-16 February, 2018). 

This session welcomes abstracts on coastal & estuarine studies at all latitudes – we aim to bring together work on buoyancy-driven flows from both high-latitude oceanographers and the mid/low latitude coastal dynamics community.

Session Title: The Dynamics of Estuaries and Coastal Buoyancy-driven Flows

Topic Area: Estuarine Processes, E004

Session ID: 27891

*Abstracts due Wednesday, 6 September, 2017*

To submit an abstract: 
https://agu.confex.com/agu/os18/preliminaryview.cgi/Session27891

Session Description:

Estuaries and coastal buoyant plumes are ubiquitous and diverse features along continental margins that exist at the confluence of terrestrial and oceanic waters, ranging from small tropical lagoons to glacial meltwater plumes in high-latitude fjords. The dynamics of these systems cover a wide spectrum of spatial and temporal scales, spanning stratified turbulence to frontal instabilities to shelf-wide circulation scales.  Estuarine and coastal buoyancy-driven flows are influenced by numerous factors including tides, freshwater discharge, wind, surface and internal waves, frontal processes, and flow-topography interactions.  These factors ultimately influence the turbulence and mixing processes in the system, serving as a link between the terrestrial and oceanic domains.  Hydrodynamics in these systems profoundly impact the regional-scale ecological and biogeochemical processes in addition to various physical processes such as sediment transport and ocean-cryosphere interactions.  Consequently, understanding the processes governing the coupling of the estuary-coastal ocean system is vital to advancing the knowledge of the system-wide response to climate change and anthropogenic activities.  We welcome submissions examining the complex, multi-scale nature of estuarine and coastal buoyancy-driven flow dynamics using observational, numerical, theoretical, and/or laboratory methods.

[CRYOLIST] One week to go: Ocean Sciences Abstracts Due!

We invite you to submit an abstract for the following Session

at 2018 AGU Ocean Sciences Meeting in Portland, Oregon (11-16 February)

 

Session ID#: 22287

OM005: High-Resolution Ocean Modelling for Ocean-Ice Sheet Interaction Studies around the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets

 

Investigating how hydrographic variability modulates the melting of the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets with numerical ocean models requires simulations of ocean circulation and exchange processes that span from the basin scale (1000 of km) to the ice shelf cavity or fjord scale (10 km to 100 m). Although valuable progress has recently been made by studying ocean-ice sheet interaction using numerical models with both idealized and realistic geometries and forcings, many unanswered questions remain. This timely session will bring together researchers working in this field with the goal of accelerating progress by facilitating the exchange of scientific findings and technical ideas. Specifically, it is hoped that this session will help shed light on outstanding questions relating to the importance of decadal to seasonal scale hydrographic variability in the (1) North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre, Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian Seas, and the Baffin Bay on anomalous melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet and in the (2) Southern Ocean on anomalous melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and potential 'hot spots' around East Antarctica. Finally, the research shared in this session will help to advance the design of ocean observation systems that will be required to monitor future ocean-ice sheet interactions.

 

 

Abstract submission deadline is 6 September 2017, 11:59 P.M. EDT

[CRYOLIST] Announcement of the GTN-G Glacier regions dataset

Dear Colleagues,

 

Glacier regions are useful for regional assessments of glacier change and other parameters. We hereby announce the GTN-G Glacier Regions dataset. This dataset is a joint set of regions recommended by the Global Terrestrial Network for Glaciers

(GTN-G) Advisory Board, the Global Land Ice Measurements from Space initiative (GLIMS), the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) Working Group of the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS), and the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS).

 

The GTN-G Glacier regions dataset defines 19 first-order glacier regions and more than 90 second-order regions encompassing all of earth's glaciers and ice caps. It is an update of the RGI dataset 5.0 with some small modifications from the WGMS glacier regions. The GTN-G glacier regions are already implemented in RGI 6.0 released this July and are implemented in the coming Global Glacier Change Bulletin to be released by WGMS later this year.

 

The dataset is now available for download at http://www.gtn-g.ch/data_catalogue_glacreg/. The website gives further details and references.

 

Best regards,

on behalf of IACS, GLIMS, GTN-G, RGI, and WGMS,

[CRYOLIST] Research Fellowships in Atmospheric Water Cycle Dynamics and Cryospheric Sciences

Hello Cryolist,

PostDoc and PhD Research Fellowships in Atmospheric Water Cycle Dynamics
and Cryospheric Sciences are available in Norway.

Within the project SNOWPACE, funded by the Norwegian Research Council, a
4-year Postdoctoral position at the University of Bergen (UiB) and a
3-year PhD stipendiate at the University of Oslo (UiO) are available.
The postdoctoral position is also co-funded by the EU H2020 project INTAROS.

About the projects and working tasks

The SNOWPACE project aims to identify where moisture sources for the
Norwegian winter snow pack are located, and how variable they are. The
work will include a combination of laboratory and field measurements
from ship, stations and surface transects, and the development and use
of advanced isotope-enabled atmospheric models for their interpretation.
In order to contribute to the larger aim of using stable isotopes to
constrain the water cycle in atmospheric models, we seek curious and
creative candidates with a relevant background in the fields stable
isotope analysis and modelling, atmospheric science, hydrology,
glaciology or numerics for a PhD and a PostDoc position.

The PostDoc position is located at the Geophysical Institute at
University of Bergen while the PhD position is within the Department of
Geosciences at University of Oslo. Strong collaboration and
co-ordination between both positions is anticipated, including joint
field work.

PostDoc Position:

The PostDoc at UiB will focus on high-quality vapour data acquisition in
the field, and the interpretation of moisture source information
contained in stable isotope parameters, including the Deuterium excess.
Further details regarding the Postdoctoral position may be found at the
following link and questions may be addressed to Harald Sodemann
(harald.sodemann@uib.no):

https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/141326/postdoctoral-fellow-position-at-the-geophysical-institute-university-of-bergen

PhD Position:

The PhD project at UiO will be centered around the collection of snow
samples and the analysis of water vapor source regions for the snow pack
measurements using different model tools. Further details regarding the
PhD position may be found at the following link and questions may be
addressed to John F. Burkhart (john.burkhart@geo.uio.no):

[CRYOLIST] wgms Glacier App 2.0

Dear Cryolist members,

During the Glacier Science Week at EXPO 2017* in Astana, Kazakhstan, we
officially launched version 2.0 of the wgms Glacier App.

The new version includes information on glacier special events such as
reported floods, avalanches, or surge and calving dynamics. It allows
the users to submit their glacier photographs, and it gives improved
visibility of principal investigators and latest publications related to
glacier observations. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and other filter
options allow searching for >8,500 glaciers.

Of course, the well-established features such as the satellite map
interface, the compass showing the closest glaciers with observations,
and the card game are still included.

The wgms Glacier App was jointly developed by the WGMS and Ubique within
the Capacity Building and Twinning for Climate Observing Systems, a
project by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and
coordinated by the Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology
MeteoSwiss. The wgms Glacier App is available at no costs from Apple App
Store** and Google Play Store***. Thanks to the support from numerous
colleagues, version 2.0 comes in English, German, French, Italian,
Spanish and Russian.

Kind regards

[CRYOLIST] AMOS-ICSHMO 2018, Sydney

A reminder to all that 31^st August is the deadline for abstract submission to the 2018 International Conference on Southern Hemisphere Meteorology and Oceanography. The following sessions will be of particular interest to the cryolist community.

 

 

6.3 Challenges and progress in modelling the Antarctic climate system

Dr Will Hobbs, Dr Petra Heil, Dr Marilyn Raphael

The unique ocean-ice-atmosphere system of the high latitude Southern Hemisphere has global significance, since it is instrumental in the ocean's uptake of heat and carbon, and in accelerating sea-level rise due to basal melt of ice shelves. Due to the complexity of this system, both coupled and uncoupled ocean and atmosphere models struggle to represent both interannual variability and longer term trends. This poses a significant challenge to our understanding of past and future changes in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean region. In this session we invite contributions related to all domains of the Southern Ocean climate system – ocean, ice and atmosphere - that consider the current state of modelling capability, that demonstrate technical progress in the field, or that consider potential pathways to future breakthroughs, including sea-ice observations and uncertainties and methods of verification for sea-ice simulations. 

 

AND

6.1 Antarctic Sea Ice: Variability, Trends, and Drivers

James Renwick, Marilyn Raphael, Will Hobbs, Sam Dean

For most of the last 30 years, total Antarctic sea ice extent has been increasing slowly, a trend that in a warming world seems counter-intuitive, poorly modelled, and is yet to be fully explained. Since September 2016, total sea ice extent has dropped to record low levels and has yet to recover. The rapid loss of sea ice in late 2016 also remains unexplained. Many factors affect Antarctic sea ice extent, including the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the effects of upper ocean circulation, and ocean waves. Sea ice extent changes exhibit strong regional variability, with different behaviour between the Amundsen and Ross Seas, and across the Weddell Sea. Understanding what drives Antarctic sea ice variability is now a major research question in the study of Southern Hemisphere climate. This session will address open questions in research on Antarctic sea ice and welcomes contributions on Antarctic sea ice observations, process studies, variability, trends, forcings, and modelling.

Please consider submitting an abstract to the Hight Latitude session HE007 at the Ocean Science 2018 Meeting in Portland, OR.

HE007: Melting of glaciers, icebergs, ice shelves, and coastal permafrost and impacts on physical properties and biogeochemistry of the ocean

Deadline for abstracts is 6 September 2017.  More information about submitting abstracts can be found at main website (http://osm.agu.org/2018/)

Session ID#: 29774

Session Description:

Rapid changes at both poles have increased the importance of physical and chemical interactions that occur between the ocean and ice shelves, glaciers and icebergs. Exchanges of heat and freshwater exert feedbacks on terrestrial ice loss, and marine ice concentration. Glacial meltwater can alter ocean stratification, circulation, and biological productivity. The chemical load transported via subglacial and englacial waters can be a major vector for the supply of iron and other limiting nutrients to the marine ecosystem. Temperature and sea level rise increase the erosion of coastal and shallow subsea permafrost leading to oceanic delivery of terrestrial organic compounds and other permafrost-trapped chemical species. The effects of these melt processes on ecosystem biomass and community structure/activity are poorly known, as is the spatial extent of these impacts. We also know very little about how seasonal, episodic and anticipated future losses will manifest in ocean circulation and coastal ecosystems.

Building on recent contributions to our understanding of relevant processes, this session seeks to bring together multi-disciplinary researchers engaged in observing and modeling these ice-ocean interactions in polar regions, including those around Greenland and Antarctica, and their impact on ocean physics, chemistry and biology.

[CRYOLIST] Vacancy postdoc at AWI: High-resolution climate modelling with an Arctic focus

Dear Cryolists

 

The Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) is a member of the Helmholtz Association (HGF) and funded by federal and state government. AWI focuses on polar and marine research in a variety of disciplines such as biology, oceanography, geology, geochemistry and geophysics thus allowing multidisciplinary approaches to scientific goals.

 

The section Climate Dynamics invites applications for a position as 

 

PostDoc (High-resolution climate modelling with an Arctic focus) 

 

This position is part of the APPLICATE project (Advanced Prediction in Polar regions and beyond: modelling, observing system design and LInkages associated with a Changing Arctic climaTE), which is funded through EU Horizon 2020 Programme. APPLICATE involves 16 partners from nine countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) and is coordinated at AWI (Prof Jung). 

 

Background and Tasks: 

The rapid decline of Arctic sea ice and its potential impact on the weather and climate in mid-latitudes has attracted considerable scientific interest in recent years. Climate models are important tools to understand the physics of climate change including teleconnections; and they are used for predicting natural variability and making projection of future changes. 

You will work with some of the leading European climate scientists in improving the representation of key process in the Arctic in global climate models. Furthermore, the influence of enhanced models on the predictive skill and the response to anthropogenic forcing will be determined. More specifically, you will improve the representation of Arctic processes in the AWI climate model - the first model that employs a sea ice-ocean model formulated on unstructured meshes. The mesh flexibility of the sea ice-ocean model will be used to increase horizontal resolution in the Arctic while keeping a relatively coarse setup elsewhere. Furthermore, the impact of improvements to parametrizations (e.g. surface drag coefficient) will be tested. You will also contribute to a synthesis on how model improvements in the Arctic influence predictive capacity from daily to multi-decadal time scales. 

 

Requirements: 

You must have a PhD in one of the following fields: meteorology, oceanography, climate sciences, physics or mathematics. Demonstrated skill/proficiency in Fortran, fluency in English, experience with running and analyzing complex models of the coupled climate system (or their subcomponents) and a proven record in publishing and securing external funding are all distinct advantages. 

 

For further information please contact Prof Thomas Jung (E-Mail: Thomas.Jung(at)awi.de, Phone: +49(0)471-4831-1761). https://www.awi.de/ueber-uns/organisation/mitarbeiter/thomas-jung.html 

 

The position is limited to 3 years, starting on October 1st 2017. The salary will be paid in accordance with the German Tarifvertrag des öffentlichen Dienstes (TVöD Bund), up to salary level 13. The place of employment will be Bremerhaven. 

 

We offer you a multi-disciplinary, international, and fascinating professional environment with flexible working hours, state-of-the-art research equipment, and a first-rate infrastructure.

[CRYOLIST] Looking for funded PhD position

Dear Researchers,


I am looking for an available and fully funded PhD position.

PhD Topic:  "Impact of glaciers melting on increase in earthquakes"


I've done my Master of Philosophy in Geophysics from the top ranked university of Pakistan Quaid-I-Azam University, Islamabad and Bachelors Hons. in Earth Sciences. I also have published three papers aswell and now have relevant field work experience of 3 years. My plan to do research is on the topic of "Impact of glaciers melting on increase in earthquakes". Basically this research will be based on integration of geophysical data, remote sensing data and seismological data to complete the desired task. In my bachelor of earth sciences and master of philosophy degree of geophysics I performed many projects in my course work related to remote sensing, structural geology and earthquake studies. Now being a part of National Space Agency for past 3 years my duty here is to research about the remote sensing applications in geosciences field especially in the field of earthquakes, lithological mapping, glacier study and etc. Hence I believe I have a good research background related to my topic.


PhD proposal, my CV, IELTS result and all relevant documents are ready to be sent to an interested PhD advisor.


Please contact me directly:

ED006: Methods and Partnerships in Limnology and Oceanography Education
Session ID#: 29779
Session Description:
Innovations in formal and informal education and outreach in the fields of ocean science, environmental science, and limnology have been plentiful in recent years. Of specific significance is making aquatic science content relevant to all audiences: K-12, undergraduate, and graduate students, and the public education. How can science lessons answer the question "Why is this important to me?" Student-researcher partnerships are one way to make the connection between science and students' lives and to result in an increase in ocean and climate literacy. Whether through partnerships, experimentation, or observations, we need to share our lessons learned with the ocean science education community. A focus on evaluation, documentation, and dissemination of successful methods in ocean science education have allowed best practices to be established so educators do not have to reinvent successful strategies. This session invites any and all submissions describing successful and/or no
vel met
hods and partnerships in limnology and oceanography education (formal or informal).
