Session ID#: 11108
Session Description:
Melting ice and land hydrology have a large impact on sea level change. In recent years significant progress has been made quantifying their contribution to global and regional sea level and closing the sea level budget with direct, independent measurements of sea level change. In this session, we seek presentations using remote sensing (e.g. GRACE, altimetry, mass budget method) and other data (e.g. climate or hydrological model outputs, in situ data) to improve our determination of the contribution of melting ice from the ice sheets, glaciers and ice caps to sea level; and to better quantify the impact of changes in land hydrology on sea level at both the regional and global scale. We are interested in studies exploring the time variability of the signal as well as studies focused on the determination of long-term trends.
