SUMMARY:Greenland Ice Sheet motion\, ice-ocean interactions\, and other am
 bitions to understand the cryosphere - Twila Moon (University of Bristol)

CONTACT:Poul Christoffersen
DESCRIPTION:Ice sheet mass loss has wide-ranging impacts\, from increasing
  global sea level to changing regional ocean characteristics via heightene
 d freshwater flux to influencing local ecosystem function. The modern sate
 llite era provides unprecedented opportunities to understand ice sheet beh
 aviour and its associated effects. Dr. Moon will discuss on-going work to 
 understand fast moving outlet glaciers that connect the interior of the Gr
 eenland Ice Sheet to the ocean and new research determining the near-glaci
 er fingerprint of freshwater flux once ice is lost from the ice sheet. Her
  research explores seasonal to decadal timescales\, taking advantage of re
 mote sensing instruments to understand changes across the entire ice sheet
  on the level of detail of individual glaciers and fjord systems. Along wi
 th discussing connections between rapidly changing ice sheet areas and bro
 ader environmental system\, she will highlight new datasets that continue 
 to increase scientists’ skill at characterizing\, understanding\, and pr
 edicting ice sheet change in a warming world.
