Aim is to keep updated on ice2ice activities within and between the Bergen groups. Copenhagen colleagues are more than welcome. Contact Erik.
Eystein has accepted an invitation to speak at the conference
Scope and participation:
The PhD course is aimed at PhD students and junior postdocs who conduct ice core analysis or are users of ice core data (glaciological, oceanographic, climate modelers).
The results from ice cores cannot be fully appreciated without understanding the analytical techniques behind the measurements as well as the implicit assumptions related to the emission, transport and deposition of the species analysed.
These include a variety of approaches such as continuous flow analysis (CFA) for the analysis of impurities, but also ion chromatography, ICP-MS and a number of other methods used for high resolution measurements of the impurity content in ice cores. Laser spectroscopy has replaced older-generation technology such as mass spectrometry for the analysis of some gases preserved in polar ice.
ICAT aims to educate a new generation of ice core researchers and foster a collaborative environment for future glaciological projects.
The course will enhance the knowledge between PhD’s within the ice core community on new methods developed for the analysis of ice core climate.

PI meeting in Bergen
CIC takes a week off to plan for the future.
DMI/NBI meeting to keep each other up to date on progress and collaborations.
This meeting will be helt at CIC in room 235.
AGENDA

-Eliza Cook: New far travelled tephra found in ice cores
-Ida Ringaard: Update on phD project
Norwegian colleagues are always welcome to join.
Please contact Helle if you have points for the agenda.

The Arctic surface temperature has been increasing significantly and is rising twice as fast as the global mean. The extent and thickness of Arctic sea ice is rapidly declining, and is consecutively below the average of 1981 – 2010 in all seasons since 2010. The Arctic sea ice has currently been on record low extent since the beginning of 2016. Meantime the Greenland ice sheet has experienced excessive surface melt. Why is Arctic sea ice disappearing so rapidly? What are the impacts of Arctic warming? How will Greenland ice sheet respond to the disappearing of Arctic sea ice?
The program will start at 11:30 the 5th dec and end by late afternoon the 6th at DMI. If you want to attend please email Christian and Jens directly (cr@dmi.dk and jhc@dmi.dk)

Eystein is co-organizing a session titled: PP014. How Fast? How Far? How Much? Paleo-constraints on the extent and rates of retreat in marine-terminating glaciers, ice sheets and sea ice and welcome Ice2Ice contributions. The abstract submission site is now open. The deadline for all submissions is 3.8.
