AGU 2016 session on chemical air-snow-ice exchange

[prattka]

Dear colleagues,  

If you or anyone of your colleagues or students are planning on going to the AGU 2016 Fall Meeting, please consider submitting an abstract to the session below in the Cryosphere section: 

Session Title: C011. Chemical Exchange between Air, Snow and Ice: from the Micro to the Global Scale

Snow and ice surfaces and their chemical interactions with the atmosphere are key to understanding polar atmospheric composition, climate, and ice core records. Analysing climate change in the polar regions requires a better integration of lab and field studies to improve model parameterisations and quantify impacts of Air-Snow-Ice exchange from local to global scales. This session is intended to provide an inter-disciplinary forum for researchers working on micro-scale properties and/or processes in snow and ice, polar tropospheric chemistry (oxidation capacity, ozone, halogens, nitrogen and carbon cycling, mercury), aerosol processes coupled to surface interactions, and biogeochemistry of sea ice, as well as links to clouds and climate of the high latitudes. Submissions with a focus on recent change in sea ice or mid-latitude snowpacks are welcomed.

Confirmed invited contributions from:

- Gauthier Carnat, Lab. de Glaciologie, Univ. Libre de Bruxelles / Belgium 

- Peter DeCarlo, Dept. of Chemistry, Drexel University / USA 

Primary Convener: Markus M Frey, NERC British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge, United Kingdom 

Conveners: Kerri Pratt, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Department of Chemistry and Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences, Ann Arbor, MI, United States and Amanda M Grannas, Villanova University, Villanova, PA, United States

The deadline for all submissions is Wednesday, 3 August 23:59 EDT. For further information refer to the Fall Meeting Website.

Hope to see you in San Francisco.

On behalf of all conveners, 

Kerri
