Observations and Models of Ice Sheet-Solid Earth-Sea Level Interactions toward Constraining Modern and Future Sea-level Changes
Observations and Models of Ice Sheet-Solid Earth-Sea Level Interactions toward Constraining Modern and Future Sea-level Changes
Session ID#: 161502
Session Description:
Mass changes in ice sheets cause perturbations in the Earthâs solid surface and gravitational and rotational potential, generating geographically variable patterns of sea-level change. Ice-sheet evolution is in turn influenced by changes in bedrock and ice-surface elevation/slope, as well as changes in the local ocean depth. Understanding and quantifying feedbacks between ice sheets, the solid Earth and sea levels is critical to constraining ice-sheet contributions to future sea-level rise.
We welcome abstracts that focus on observations and modeling of ice-sheet, solid-Earth and sea-level processes and their interactions across all timescales, with a specific emphasis on contributions that aim to improve monitoring, diagnosing, and/or projecting future sea-level change and associated hazards. This covers a wide range of methods including, but not limited to, coupled ice sheet-sea level modeling, advanced modeling of Earthâs structure (e.g., laterally varying mantle and transient rheology), statistical modeling, machine learning applications, and GPS and gravimetry data analysis.
