Centennial Session: 100 Years of Ice Sheet and Sea-level Science

Session ID#: 79110

Session Description:
Sea level and ice sheet science predates the foundation of the AGU. More than 2000 years ago, the Greek philosopher Strabo linked volcanic activity in the Mediterranean to land-level changes and periodic marine inundations. This community strives to determine the rates, mechanisms, and geographic variability of former sea levels, the sensitivity of ice sheets to climate change, the response of the solid Earth and gravity field to ice mass redistribution, and to constrain statistical and physical models used to project future sea-level rise, which hinges on an improved understanding of ice-sheet behavior in the geologic past.

We celebrate AGU’s centennial by highlighting the past 100 years of scientific achievement and to set our vision towards the next 100 years. As part of PALSEA (a PAGES-INQUA working group) and IGCP 639, we seek abstracts that illustrate observations, analyses, and modeling of changes in sea level and ice volume.
