[Aqualist] Session JP-03 on Global and Regional Sea Level Change, IUGG General assembly

[Barrows, Timothy]

From: Craig Sloss <c.sloss at qut.edu.au>



Dear colleague,



We would like to draw your attention to the Inter-Association Session JP-03 on Global and Regional Sea Level Change for the next IUGG General assembly to be held in Melbourne Australia from 27 June to 8 July (http://www.iugg2011.com/program-iapso.asp).



abstract submission deadline of Tuesday, 1st February 2011.



This symposium will follow on from the Union Session (U-08) of invited talks and consider all contributions to improving understanding of the past and future projections of sea level change. This includes satellite observations such as altimetry, GPS, gravity and synthetic aperture radar, in situ instrumental and palaeo observations, theoretical understanding and numerical modelling.



The Session will focus on:



*  Remotely sensed, in situ and palaeo observations of global and regional sea level change



*  Evidence and understanding of cryospheric change, particularly fast, dynamic ice processes



*  Observations and modelling of changes in ocean mass and ocean thermal expansion



*  Inter-relationships with terrestrial water storage and discharge, including human-made dams/reservoirs



*  Understanding global averaged sea-level change and the regional distribution of sea level change



*  Dynamical modelling of sea level variability at global and regional scales, including the prediction of extreme sea levels



Please note the following important dates:



    Call for Abstracts Close: 1st February 2011



    Authors Notified of Acceptance: 28 March 2011



    Author Registration & Early Bird Deadline: 11 April 2011

We hope that you are able to attend and look forward to seeing you in Melbourne.





With best wishes,



Simon Holgate, John Church, Philip Woodworth, Georg Kaser, Wolfgang Bosch and CK Shum.
