NS43B:
Advances and Revelations from Geophysical Exploration and Observation in the Cryosphere Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 49032

Session Description:
High-elevation and high-latitude regions of our planet are responding rapidly to a changing climate, causing substantial impacts to Earth processes at all spatiotemporal scales. Many of the most pressing cryospheric research questions involve processes and/or structures in the interior or at the base of frozen Earth materials, and are therefore difficult to study directly. Advancements in instrumentation and processing approaches are rapidly improving our abilities to measure and understand glacier ice, sea ice, snow, and permafrost processes. In this session, we seek submissions related to a broad range of ground and airborne geophysical methods (e.g. ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity, nuclear magnetic resonance, electromagnetic, seismic, gravity etc.) applied to solve cryospheric problems. Studies aimed at the characterization, detection, and/or monitoring of cold region environments using geophysical field and/or modeling methodologies are welcome. Multidisciplinary topics, innovative approaches, and research combining geophysical methods with geomodels are particularly encouraged.
