-a great success

A total of 64 participants attended the Nordheimsund workshop which took place January 26th to 29th, 2015 in Nordheimsund, Norway.

The meeting gathered the ice2ice community and allowed for discussions and input on how to continue the project in the coming year.

In the first part of the meeting ice2ice scientists and invited speakers held no less than 30 talks. Further 10 short talks were given by PhD’s  hired within or related to the ice2ice project.

The talks covered a vast majority of science related to the ice2ice project;  sea ice proxies, total air content as a proxy for ice sheet elevation, field work that will take place in the coming year, uncertainties in climate models, adjoint method to produce a global ocean state estimation of the glacial ocean, Ice sheets in the climate system,  dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet and discussion of current changes, Model of Arctic sea ice retreat effect on Greenland, the effect of laurentide icesheets on midlatitudes to just mention a few.

The talks formed the foundation for the work package discussions, which took part over the last two days of the meeting. Two discussions were ran at the time. This allowed for multidisciplinary input from the scientists. The discussions formed a work plan for the coming year including several minor multidisciplinary workshops, publication plans and input to the planned field work.
