  1. Extended Submission Deadline
    Presentation Abstracts
    International Workshop on Glacial Isostatic Adjustment and Elastic
    Deformation
    5-7 September 2017
    Reykjavik, Iceland

Organizers announce an extended deadline for presentations abstracts for
the International Workshop on Glacial Isostatic Adjustment and Elastic
Deformation. This workshop will convene 5-7 September 2017 in Reykjavik,
Iceland.

Extended abstract submission deadline: Friday, 16 June 2017.

The theme of this workshop encompasses how past and present changes in
the mass balance of the Earth's glaciers and ice caps induce present-day
deformation of the solid Earth on a range of spatial scales, from the
very local to global. Of primary interest are geodetic observations that
validate, or may be assimilated into, models of glacial isostatic
adjustment (GIA) and/or constrain models of present-day ice mass change
through measurements of elastic rebound. Using geometric measurements
alone, elastic and viscoelastic deformations cannot be separated without
additional models or observations. The conference will focus on
resolving these issues and work on dissemination of these measurements
within the glaciological community.

Session topics include:

  • Observations of present-day changes in glaciers, ice caps, and ice
    sheets and the associated Earth deformation;
  • Measurement and models of elastic rebound;
  • Glacial isostatic adjustment on a heterogeneous Earth; and
  • Reconciling models and observations of GIA.

Partial funding may be available to support a limited number of
attendees, courtesy of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research
(SCAR) Solid Earth Response and influence on Cryosphere Evolution
program, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Technical University
of Denmark. Travel funds will be awarded after the abstract submission
deadline and preference will be given to early stage researchers and
scientists from a SCAR nation with an emerging Antarctic programs, and
to participants involved in ESA projects or using ESA data. All
supported attendees must present at the workshop. Applicants must
indicate that they are requesting travel support at the time of abstract
submission.

Early career scientists travel support application deadline: 1 July 2017.

Registration deadline: 2 August 2017.

  1. Call for Session Abstracts
    Geological Society of America 2017 Meeting
    22-25 October 2017
    Seattle, Washington

Organizers seek abstract submissions for session T239 titled "Geophysics
on Ice" to take place during the Geological Society of America (GSA)
2017 meeting, which will convene 22-25 October 2017 in Seattle,
Washington.

Abstract submission deadline: 11:59 p.m. PDT on 1 August 2017.

This session will showcase recent advances in geophysical investigations
of Earth's cryospheric and cyrospheric processes. Session organizers aim
to bring together results from various geophysical disciplines in polar
and glacier research to foster discussion and data sharing between these
fields. The session will showcase recent advances in geophysical
investigations of Earth's cryosphere and cyrospheric processes.
Abstracts will summarize geophysical characterization of ice sheets,
glaciers, ice shelves, and related environments from a range of
different techniques at a variety of scales.

Geophysical investigations of Earth's cryosphere are an integral part of
formulating understanding of these dynamic environments and are
inherently multidisciplinary in nature. Combining results from multiple
geophysical approaches, such as gravity, ground penetrating radar,
seismics, and electromagnetic methods, has proven to be a productive way
of understanding of a wide range of glacial and ice sheet processes
including melting and ablation processes, ice dynamics, internal
morphology, and monitoring the effects of climate change in polar
environments.
