WGOMD-SOP Workshop on Sea Level Rise, Ocean / Ice Shelf Interactions, and Ice Sheets

The registration and call for abstracts has opened for the:
CLIVAR WGOMD-SOP Workshop on Sea Level Rise, Ocean / Ice Shelf Interactions, and Ice Sheets to be held at CSIRO, in Hobart, Australia from 18-20 February 2013.

The workshop aims to bring together leading international scientists and early career scientists from the ocean, ice-sheet, ice-shelf, and sea level rise modeling and observational communities to

  • Identify priorities for reducing uncertainties in the projections of global and regional sea-level rise,
  • Evaluate the state-of-science of ocean and land-ice interactions,
  • Investigate pathways for the development of the next generation of climate models incorporating interactive land-ice components.

WCRP Welcomes Dr. Jenny Baeseman as new CliC Director

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) welcomes Dr Jenny Baeseman as the new director of the Cryosphere and Climate Project (CliC) that is hosted by the Norwegian Polar Institute in Tromso, Norway. “We are fortunate to have Jenny as a member of CliC and WCRP”, said Dr. Ghassem R. Asrar, the Director of World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). “Jenny brings to CliC and WCRP network a wealth of knowledge on cryospheric research and education. She has been coordinating and managing the network of early career scientists in polar research as a major initiative of the International Polar Year (IPY) and its successful legacy since 2006.” Dr. Baeseman assumed the post of CliC director in April 2012.
