C23D:
Nye Lecture


Session ID#: 9700

Session Description:
This keynote lecture is named after Dr. John F. Nye, a pioneer in glacier science; who is currently professor emeritus in physics at the University of Bristol. John Nye’s paradigm-changing work in ice rheology theory allowed us to predict glacier behavior including surging glaciers. As land ice responds to climate warming, Nye’s work in ice mechanics and glacier bed dynamic is as relevant today as it was when he first developed his theories 50 years ago. Each year, the Nye Lecture highlights the exciting work of an outstanding cryospheric scientist and has included presentations on ice sheets, sea ice, glaciers, snowpack, sea ice, and permafrost.
