AS2.4 - Boundary Layers in High Latitudes: Physical and Chemical
Processes over Snow, Ice, Ocean, and LandCR5.30 - Subglacial Environments of Ice Sheets and Glaciers
- AS2.4 - Boundary Layers in High Latitudes: Physical and Chemical
Processes over Snow, Ice, Ocean, and Land
Organizers of Session AS2.4, "Boundary Layers in High Latitudes:
Physical and Chemical Processes over Snow, Ice, Ocean, and Land,"
announce a call for abstracts. This session will be convened at the EGU
(European Geosciences Union) General Assembly 2011, scheduled for 3-8
April 2011 in Vienna, Austria.
This session is intended to provide an interdisciplinary forum for
researchers working in the areas of high-latitude tropospheric
meteorology, oceanography, climate, and chemistry with an emphasis on
the role of boundary layer processes that mediate exchanges between the
Earth's surface (snow, ice, ocean, and land) and the atmosphere.
Contributions are solicited in the following areas:
- Results from polar field programs and observatories;
- Surface processes including snow-ice-ocean-land/atmosphere
chemical exchange;
- The role of boundary layers in polar climate change and
implications of climate change for surface exchange processes,
especially in the context of reduced arctic sea ice;
- Advances in modeling and reanalysis, including model assessment of
boundary layer processes;
- Research that bridges atmospheric chemistry and boundary-layer
meteorology in the polar regions;
- Observation and modeling of surface energy budgets;
- Coastal processes;
- Application or demonstration of new technology; and
- Application to other fields including, astronomical siting,
biological processes, etc.
To encourage young scientist and student presentations at least one oral
unit will be reserved per session for such papers.
Abstract submission deadline: Monday 10 January 2011.
Please note there is an abstract submission fee. To submit an abstract,

- CR5.30 - Subglacial Environments of Ice Sheets and Glaciers
Organizers of Session CR5.30, "Subglacial Environments of Ice Sheets and
Glaciers," announce a call for abstracts. This session will be convened
at the EGU (European Geosciences Union) General Assembly 2011, scheduled
for 3-8 April 2011 in Vienna, Austria.
Subglacial environments are complex and characterized by precise mass
and energy transfers between the ice and its substrate of water, air,
bedrock, or sediment, and the oceans at the boundaries of ice sheets.
Feedbacks between increased surface melting, glacier bed conditions, and
ice flow also affect alpine glaciers, potentially contributing to
increased glacial retreat in low and mid-latitude mountain regions.
Subglacial processes impact ice dynamics at all scales of ice mass from
valley glaciers to large ice sheets, and contribute through feedback
loops to changes in sea level, ocean circulation, and regional and
global climate evolution. Characterizing basal environments
quantitatively, therefore, remains an outstanding glaciological problem,
as does scaling of this knowledge for use in modeling ice sheet and
glacier behavior.
Contributions to this session are solicited in areas that include, but
are not limited to, measurements and/or modeling of:
- Flow of subglacial water at the bed and through subglacial
sediments;
- Linkages between subglacial hydrology and ice dynamics;
- Theoretical-, field-, or laboratory-based parameterization of
subglacial processes in numerical ice-flow models;
- Formation, geometry, and potential hydrological linkages between
subglacial lakes;
- Subglacial and supraglacial lake drainage, and subglacial floods
from ice margins; and
- Geomorphological evidence of subglacial water flows from
contemporary ice-sheet margins and across formerly glaciated
continental-scale regions.
