Re: Regarding Coastal List Serv: Invitation to Submit to AGU Session C020 on ice-sediment-ocean interactions

[Gulick, Sean S]

Dear all,

 

TLDR: We encourage all folks who are working on any glaciated margin in the world to submit to our AGU session C020. We are interested in any interactions between the ice-sediment-ocean interface on modern or paleo timescales, whether modeling or observational efforts or both! 

Submit here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/prelim.cgi/Session/249674

 

Abstract Submission Deadline: July 30th 

 

Integrated Multidisciplinary Observations and Modeling of Marine-Terminating Glacier System Dynamics

 

Description: Marine-terminating glaciers around the world are experiencing retreat and mass loss. However, the rates of retreat vary widely, with several remaining stable or even advancing. This heterogeneity results from dynamics in glaciology, sedimentology, geophysics, climatology, and oceanography. Therefore, improved understanding of these systems requires integrating observations across disciplines and designing physics-based models that accurately represent the key processes and feedbacks driving glacier behavior. We invite abstracts that use multidisciplinary datasets to understand any combination of glacier, climate, sediment, bedrock, and ocean interactions in the past, present and future. We also invite those who model feedbacks between these dynamic systems. This session aims to bring together researchers working in diverse marine terminating glacial environments to better characterize the autogenic (internal) and allogenic (forced) processes that impact glacial stability.  In particular, this session seeks to unite those working across disciplines to expand, refine, and answer questions about the dynamics of marine-terminating glaciers globally.

 

On behalf of the conveners,

Duncan Wheeler, Nadia Cohen, Mikayla Pascual, and Sean Gulick
