FRISP is an annual meeting to share research related to ice shelves, and their interactions with the ice sheet, ocean, and atmosphere. It is an Expert Group of the Scientific Committee on AntarcticResearch (SCAR), and has organised regular meetings in Europe since 1984. FRISP is an appropriate meeting to present work in progress and discuss emerging research ideas, and is well-suited to early career researchers as well as senior scientists.
The organisers welcome presentations on all aspects of ice shelf research, including, but not limited to:
- formation, flow and disintegration of ice shelves
- response of ice shelves and tidewater glaciers to past, present and future climate variability
- surface and basal mass balance of ice shelves
- ice-ocean interaction at the calving front of ice shelves and tidewater glaciers
- mass transport across the grounding line
- ocean circulation and water mass transformation beneath ice shelves and within pro-glacial fjords
- impact of ice shelves on the global ocean
- processes controlling the delivery of ocean heat to glaciated coastlines
- climate records from on or near current or former ice shelves
- iceberg calving, drift, melting, and decay
Whilst presentations from all participants are encouraged, attendance without a presentation is also welcome.
Abstract submission will be done at the same time as registration. There is a word limit of 350 words for abstracts.
Extended registration deadline: 21 August 2022.
