Schuler & Westermann: New projects MAMMAMIA and permafrost
Abstract:
– Thomas Schuler: MAMMAMIA – Multi-scAle-Multi-Method Analysis of Mechanisms causing Ice Acceleration.
Sliding of ice is a major player in controlling the glacier contribution to sea-level rise, yet it is poorly understood. MAMMAMIA focuses on the interface dynamics at the base of glaciers to determine how subglacial friction and fine scale ice dynamics respond to temporal changes in meltwater supply. MAMMAMIA collects synchronous, high-resolution records of ice velocity along with associated cryo-seismicity and the hydro-glaciological context.
– Sebastian Westermann: We provide an overview over current and newly starting projects on permafrost. These are Permafrost4Life (Permafrost in Mongolia), H2020 Nunataryuk (land to sea fluxes from permafrost environments), ESA Permafrost_CCI (satellite-based mapping of permafrost thermal state), PCCH-Arctic (cultural heritage on permafrost on Svalbard) and BioGov (carbon cycling in permafrost and boreal regions). We in particular report on the progress of the CryoGrid Cryosphere model which is used in all projects.

About the seminar
This seminar is offered by the Section for Geography and Hydrology, Dept. of Geosciences, University of Oslo. The GEOHYD-seminars are announced as lunch seminars so bring your lunch if you want to.
The seminars are open for everyone interested, and especially students are welcome.
