Description
As a group under the combined auspices of the WCRP, PAGES' PALSEA working group, SERCE and the IAG sub-commission 3.4, group leaders started a once-a-month virtual seminar series dealing with sea-level changes, GIA, and ice sheets in 2021.
This monthly seminar series is intended to engage a broad community in advance of future workshops organized by PALSEA-SERCE and the WCRP, and to stimulate discussion and ideas for collaboration and synthesis in this multidisciplinary community.
The webinar series will continue in the coming months leading up to the WCRP Sea Level Meeting (https://www.sealevelconference.org/) and PALSEA workshop (https://palseagroup.weebly.com/), both in Singapore and online in July, 2022.
Next seminar
12 April at 20:00 UTC
13 March at 8:00 in N.Z.
Nicholas Golledge on "Climate forced changes of the Antarctic Ice Sheet: Evidence, inference, and speculation".
Bio
Nicholas Golledge is a Professor of Glaciology in the Antarctic Research Centre of Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, and was a Lead Author for the cryosphere chapter of the 2021 IPCC Sixth Assessment Report. He has spent the last 25 or so years as both an observational and theoretical scientist studying how glaciers and ice sheets behave, and the forces that drive them to change. Over the last decade Prof. Golledge has worked primarily on understanding the Antarctic Ice Sheet using fieldwork and numerical models.
