SUMMARY:Ice-atmosphere-ocean interactions around Greenland - Dr Poul Chris
 toffersen\, University of Cambridge\, Scott Polar Research Institute
DTSTART:20111110T161500Z

UID:TALK33897@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Alex Archibald
DESCRIPTION:The net annual loss of ice in Greenland is currently around 20
 0 gigatonnes\, which is enough to raise sea level by 0.6 mm per year. Arou
 nd half this loss is caused by surface melting linked to atmospheric warmi
 ng\, the other half is lost by increased flow and discharge of icebergs in
 to fjords. Whereas a number of studies clearly show that the contribution 
 to sea level rise is increasing\, the magnitude of future rates is extreme
 ly uncertain. This talk will outline the recent change of the Greenland Ic
 e Sheet and explain how it is linked to changes in atmospheric as well as 
 oceanographic conditions.
