Abstracts are now being accepted for the following session at the
European Geosciences Union 2007 General Assembly:

Session CR 135: Modelling sea ice and ice-ocean interactions

Session Description:
The dramatic changes that the arctic sea ice is undergoing are
indicative of the high sensitivity of sea ice to climatic changes.
Improving sea ice models and the representation of sea ice and sea
ice-related processes in regional and global ocean climate models is
more than ever a pressing necessity. In this session, contributions are
invited from the sea ice and climate modelling communities regarding all
aspects of sea ice modelling. Presentations and posters on modelling of
snow and ice thermodynamics and dynamics, ice-atmosphere and ice-ocean
interactions, ice biogeochemical processes, and data assimilation in
sea-ice models will be considered. Aware of the important role of
chemical and biological processes in shaping the polar ocean environment
and the growing need of including such processes in current models,
participation of sea ice biology and chemistry modelers is encouraged.
