The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is currently accepting abstract submissions for the 2017 Fall Meeting. The meeting will be held 11-15 December 2017 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Clarification of the following joint sessions:
- TWO JOINT SESSIONS
SESSION 26442: Relations Among Recent Arctic Environmental Changes and Global Changes
SESSION 26747: Union Session on Relations Among Recent Arctic Environmental Changes and Global Changes
Conveners: James Morison, Ron Kwok, Emanuele Di Lorenzo, and Renellys C. Perez.
In recent decades the Arctic Ocean circulation, salinity, and temperature have changed and sea ice mass and extent have declined alarmingly. Mass loss of the Greenland ice sheet has accelerated. Now, 2016-2017 has seen record warm winter atmospheric temperatures, a record minimum amount of multiyear sea ice, and record minimum winter sea ice extent, setting the stage in summer 2017 for record minimum sea ice extent. These changes are partly forced by global-scale ocean/atmosphere changes. Conversely, Arctic changes affect global climate by modifying the radiative heat balance, the strength of the global overturning circulation, and the interaction between the ocean and Greenland ice sheet. These special U.S. Climate Variability and Predictability Program (CLIVAR) sessions will explore recent Arctic environmental changes and specifically their connections to global changes.
NOTE:
Session 26442 - Global Environmental Change (GC063) will be a standard session of contributed presentations, and Session 26747 - Union (U021) session will consist of four invited talks and end with a panel discussion on ongoing and planned science initiatives, such as CLIVAR, the Greenland Ice Sheet Ocean Science Network (GRISO), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ocean Melting Greenland (NASA OMG).
The Union session (U021) program is fixed.
