Careers in glaciology: research and opportunities
As part of the conference, a lunchtime workshop is being held for students and early career glacial researchers to provide an informal venue for networking and discussion. The workshop will take the form of a panel discussion, drawing on the experience of scientists at various stages in their careers to talk openly about the challenges and rewards of career paths in glacial research. The focus will be on the transition from student to PI and how to make the most of opportunities that come your way. This is a great opportunity to make contacts with other students as well as established glaciologists, and to share and form new ideas about how to continue our careers in glaciology.
Registration for the workshop is part of the registration process for the conference. All welcome from students to established scientists. For more information about the workshop, please contact Shelley MacDonell (lc.azaec@llenodcm.yellehs). In association with APECS.
Tuesday 2 February 13:15 - 14:45
(during the conference lunch break – lunch provided. Location: Auditorium)
The scientific topics to be addressed are :
1. Ongoing cryospheric changes and related impacts in the Southern Hemisphere, including glaciers, ice sheets, ice shelves, permafrost, sea ice, snow cover and freshwater ice.
2. Climate of the Southern Hemisphere: variability vs. trends.
3. Remote sensing and geophysical techniques for cryospheric studies.
4. Modelling of cryospheric processes and data assimilation.
5. Similarities and contrasts with cryospheric and climate changes in the Northern Hemisphere
6. Detection and attribution of cryospheric processes.
7. Societal impacts, risk management, economic impacts, adaptation, mitigation, management policies.
