Background:
The researchers participating in the ice2ice project meet every half year to facilitate cooperation between researchers from the four partner institutions; University of Bergen, University of Copenhagen, UniResearch and the Danish Meteorological Institute.
This time the meeting is in Nordheimsund, Norway and will last a full four days. The ice2ice community will update each other on the progress in the work packages of the ice2ice project and discuss future work. Further for the workshop guest researchers are invited to give state of the art talks to ensure the ice2ice community is always updated with the most recent science relating to the ice2ice project.
Invited speakers are:
- Rudiger Stein, Alfred Wegener Institute, Germany, “Sea ice proxies”
- Laure Zanna, Oxford University, United Kingdom “An ocean of uncertainty in climate predictions”
- Lev Tarasov, Memorial University of NewFoundland, Canada, “calibrated deglacial history of FIS/Bar/Kara”
- Annette Rinke, Alfred Wegener Institute, Germany, “Arctic amplification in observations and models”
- David Battisti, University of Washington, USA, “sea ice, storm tracks and atmospheric circulation during the last glacial”
- Patrick Heimbach, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA “The ends and means of global ocean state estimation”
- Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark “Combining proxies and models to reconstruct the Greenland ice sheet”
