I will be co-convening topical sessions on Ice-Ocean-Sediment Interactions and
Seismicity of the Cryosphere.
My co-conveners for
the Ice-Ocean-Sediment Interactions session (session OS010) are Katie Boldt (Univ. of
Wash.), Carlos Moffat (Univ. of Concepcion, Chile), and Martin Truffer (Univ. of Alaska
Fairbanks). In this session, we'll be exploring how glaciers, the ocean, and sediment
on the seafloor and glacier bed interact to control glacier flow, iceberg calving and
melt of the submarine portion of glacier termini.
For the Seismicity of the
Cryosphere (C027), my co-convener is Brad Lipovsky (Stanford). In this session,
presentations will focus on how seismic waves (like those produced by earthquakes) can
be studied to learn more about how the frozen earth works. Topics will include iceberg
calving, sea ice and river ice fracture and grinding, water motion through ice, and
friction between glaciers and the ground they move over.

descriptions for these two sessions
