Explore cutting-edge research on ice sheet and glacier evolution in this comprehensive conference session from the 2017 AGU Fall Meeting. Delve into integrated approaches combining instrumental, geological, and modeling methods to understand ice sheet and glacier change. Learn about lake formation, advance rates, and modeling techniques from experts in the field. Examine seasonal variations, regional climate models, and spatial differences in ice dynamics. Investigate the impact of various scenarios on ice sheets and glaciers. Gain insights into basal velocities, interannual climate variability, and their implications for global ice mass balance. Discover the latest findings on Holocene ice core data and North American glacial history. Engage with presentations from leading researchers at institutions such as NASA, University of Liverpool, and University of Maryland, covering topics ranging from remote sensing to paleoclimate reconstructions.
