This is the final webinar in the current series on Ice Sheets, Sea Level and GIA prior to the WCRP Sea Level Meeting (https://www.sealevelconference.org/) and PALSEA workshop (https://palsea2022.org/), held both in Singapore and online next month (note PALSEA abstract submission is open until Monday 13 June).
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
14 June
14:00 UTC (10pm SGT/4pm CET/10am EST)
This month’s session looks towards the future, in keeping with the overall WCRP and PALSEA themes for this year, focusing on impacts and adaptation to sea-level rise, storm surges and coastal change.
Dr Sally Brown and Dr Ivan Haigh.
Speaker bios
Dr Sally Brown is a coastal geomorphologist interested in the impacts of sea-level rise and climate change adaptation. In this presentation “Impacts and adaptation to sea-level rise and coastal change”, Sally will outline some of the main impacts of sea-level rise and options to adapt. Her presentation will cover both engineering, policy and societal perspectives on the challenges in adapting to climate change, taking examples from the UK and around the world.
Dr Ivan Haigh is an Associate Professor of coastal oceanography at the University of Southampton. His research interests include the extremes of sea-level rise, tides and coastal flooding. In this presentation, Ivan will discuss the impacts of sea-level rise and storm surge barriers.
