[CRYOLIST] Update (January data added) to MEaSUREs Greenland Image Mosaics from Sentinel-1A and 1B

Dear Colleague,

The MEaSUREs Greenland Image Mosaics from Sentinel-1A and 1B, Version 2 data set, available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) has been updated with mosaics through January 2018. This data set, part of the Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program, provides 6 and 12-day 50 m resolution image mosaics of the Greenland coastline and ice sheet periphery beginning in January 2015. The mosaics are derived from C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (C-SAR) acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-1A and -1B imaging satellites.

Access to the data and documentation is provided on the data set Web page at the NSIDC DAAC:

[CRYOLIST] Ph.D. student position studying waves and turbulence in the marginal ice zone - IFREMER (Brest, France).

The Laboratory for Ocean Physics and Satellite remote sensing (LOPS) is
offering a Ph.D. position that will study the interactions between
near-surface turbulence and surface waves in the presence of sea ice.
The student will approach the problem using field measurements supported
by modelling and theory. The project can be tailored to the student's
own interests, but the work will initially be guided by the following
questions: How much wave energy is lost to under-ice turbulence? How
does that turbulence vary spatially? Under what conditions
(ice/wave/etc.) is turbulence significant in the wave energy budget?
When does mixing due to wave-driven turbulence affect the composition of
the upper-water column and ice melt/formation?

Host institution: Laboratoire d'Océanographie Physique et Spatiale, IFREMER
Location: Brest, France
Duration: 3 years
*Application deadline: 17 April 2018*

Required qualifications:
- Strong undergraduate and master's degrees in physics, math,
engineering, or a related field.
- Self-directed; can solve problems independently.
- Some experience programming in Python, Matlab, or similar.
- Capable of written and verbal communication in English
- Some experience with fluid dynamics, ideally ocean surface waves
and/or turbulence, is desirable but not required.

[CRYOLIST] Palaeotopography and palaobathymetry workshop at POLAR2018

Dear all,

As you register for POLAR2018 in Davos, please take note of a side meeting ‘Paleobathymetry and Paleotopography of Antarctica and Greenland’ that takes place during the Open Science Conference. This workshop is largely focussed on ongoing work for Antarctica under the umbrella of the PAIS (Past Antarctic Ice Sheets) SCAR working group (https://www.scar.org/science/pais/pais/ ) as a way to generate better palaeo boundary conditions for the community to use in their investigations and modelling studies. We also hope that there might be interest in considering palaeotopographic and palaeobathymetric reconstructions for Greenland and are keen to have discussions that cross both poles.

 

The workshop will be held on Tuesday 19^th June at 6:30-9:30 pm in room B Rinerhorn & Strela (this is immediately after the opening reception so we will have a ‘relaxed’ discussion).

 

We anticipate discussion following an approximate agenda as outlined below but we will be flexible depending on group interest:

 

1)      Outline of process and progress on Antarctic palaeobathymetry compilation.

2)      Outline of process and progress on Antarctic palaeotopography reconstruction.

3)      Discussion of how to deal with intermediate timeslices (e.g. times in between reconstructions)

4)      Is there interest in a Greenland palaeotopographic/palaeobathymetric reconstruction?

5)      What do modellers need from us? Format? Particular timeslices of interest in relation to particular sensitivities?

6)      From palaeotopography to palaeolandscape and palaeoceanography – adding context to the reconstructions (e.g. climate, vegetation, ocean circulation etc.) –we are hoping all sorts of people might want to use these products – not just ice sheet modellers so it will be helpful to discuss what the polar community might like to do with such reconstructions.

 

If you will attend our workshop (it’s free!) then it would be useful if you can email me (Stewart.Jamieson@durham.ac.uk) to indicate you will attend (and provide a sentence of where your interest lies) but otherwise, if you are registered for the Open Science Conference then you will all be most welcome.

 

Regards,

Stewart Jamieson and Karsten Gohl (Co-chairs SCAR-PAIS palaeobathymetry-palaeotopography group)

We are accepting applications for the 6th Annual Summer School on Sustainable Climate Risk Management, which will take place 30 July - 3 August 2018 at Penn State.

 

The Network for Sustainable Climate Risk Management's (SCRiM) annual summer school is designed to foster opportunities for collaboration between scholars and practitioners while providing a solid foundation in the broad, multidisciplinary knowledge, tools, and methods of the diverse fields participating in the network.

A key focus of the workshop will be developing a common vocabulary to help foster enhanced cross-disciplinary communication, catalyzing the potential for future research and decision support collaborations. Participants will also gain hands-on experience with key methods and tools including: 

• use of simple models in a transdisciplinary framework
  
• analysis of relevant datasets
  
• values-informed robust decisionmaking
  

This program is targeted at all postdocs, advanced graduate students, and early-career professionals in the decisionmaking and policy communities who are working on issues related to climate risk. Potential candidates representing NGOs and state or local agencies are strongly encouraged to apply. 

In most cases, lodging, meals, registration, and travel costs will be fully covered for participants. International applicants are welcomed.

Apply by Saturday 8 April 2018

[CRYOLIST] Newly Available Arctic Sea Ice Thickness Measurements

Dear Colleague,

We're pleased to announce announce the release of On-Ice Arctic Sea Ice Thickness Measurements by Auger, Core, and Electromagnetic Induction, From the Fram Expedition Onward. These data were compiled by Benjamin Holt, an investigator at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California.

In addition to sea ice thickness, the data set provides sea ice freeboard and snow depth on sea ice from in situ measurements taken primarily using auger, coring devices, and electromagnetic sounding. When available, ice type is also included. The archive has data from 44 different expeditions starting with measurements from the Fram Expedition in 1894 and 1895, then to the Maud Expedition from 1922 through 1924, and continuing forward in time to observations from 2011. See https://nsidc.org/the-drift/data-update/on-ice-arctic-sea-ice-thickness-measurements-from-1894-to-2011-now-available/.
