Please consult with event host Patrick Alexander for connection details.</p><hr /> <p>Abstract:<br /> The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is currently the largest single contributor of land ice to sea level rise. This trend is expected to continue, but future rates of mass loss remain uncertain, as observational estimates for the entire ice sheet span only the past few decades. Understanding both long-term and short-term glacier responses to changing external forces is key to improving future projections. <br /> <br />This talk explores various datasets used to map changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet margin across timescales ranging from days to decades. For long-term ice loss, we calculate spatial ice mass loss around the entire Greenland Ice Sheet from 1900 to the present, utilizing aerial imagery from the 1980s. This enables accurate, high-resolution mapping of geomorphic features corresponding to the maximum extent of the Greenland Ice Sheet during the Little Ice Age at the end of the 19th century. <br /> <br />Over the past two decades, satellite and airborne altimetry data with fine spatial (1 km) and temporal (monthly) resolutions have documented the evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Recently, a novel approach has been employed to investigate Greenland's ice sheet mass changes at daily temporal resolution. This method uses data from the Greenland GPS Network (GNET), which measures mass changes by detecting the solid Earth's response to varying surface loads. The hypothesis is that the entire GNSS network can function as a virtual instrument to monitor the total mass balance of Greenland. Over the past two decades, gravity variation measurements have shown that the most significant mass loss has occurred along Greenland's periphery, where the GNET stations are located. This suggests that the GNSS stations are highly sensitive to these changes. Furthermore, in the past 15 years, the number of stations has increased significantly, resulting in a more uniformly distributed spatial coverage around the ice sheet margins. <br /> <br />By integrating the long-term dataset (1900-2000) with the fine spatial (1 km) and temporal (monthly) resolution dataset (2003-2023), as well as daily ice loss estimates from GNET, ice sheet models could potentially improve the predictive accuracy of future mass balance projections.<br /></p> <hr /><p style="text-align:center">[ <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="hideAbs(106989)">Close</a> ]</p></div><!-- end abst --> <div id="fade106989" class="fade" onclick="hideAbs(106989)"></div> <dl class="event"><dt><b>November 20, 2024</b></dt> <dd>11 a.m. to 12 p.m.— <span class="virtual">Hybrid</span></dd> <dd><b>IRI Climate Forecast Briefing</b></dd> <dd>Host/Contact: Andrew W.

Please consult with event host Nicolas Leitmann-Niimi for connection details if you wish to virtually attend.</p><hr /> <p>Abstract:<br /> Convective clouds must constantly perform mechanical work to maintain their motions against the weight of the water in them. This fact, often overlooked, can produce dramatic effects, especially at the center of storms where the load of water can approach 200 kg per square meter. At these locations, convection must expend thousands of watts of mechanical work to lift the water to the level where it precipitates. This energy dissipated in lifting operations cannot be used to accelerate wind. I will show, using recent global warming simulations from the NOAA/GFDL's X-SHiELD global storm-resolving model, that at the global scale, the operation of lifting water consumes about 70 percent of the mechanical power of convection, with remarkable stability across regions. The simulations show that the work done by convection increases by 6 percent per 1-K increase in global mean temperature, as a result of the greater water holding capacity of the atmosphere. They also show that, coincidentally, the mechanical energy dissipated in lifting water increases by 6 percent, suggesting that the production of kinetic energy in updrafts will remain constrained in a water atmosphere. I will discuss the reason for this increase by 6 percent of the energy dissipated, and how it relates to changes in the distribution and transport of water mass in convective clouds. I will also show how changes in transport can be further characterized at the scale of individual mesoscale convective systems throughout their lifecycle. For this purpose, results obtained by application of the TOOCAN convective tracking algorithm to RCEMIP simulations will be discussed.<br /></p> <hr /><p style="text-align:center">[ <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="hideAbs(107068)">Close</a> ]</p></div><!-- end abst --> <div id="fade107068" class="fade" onclick="hideAbs(107068)"></div> <dl class="event"><dt><b>December 3, 2024</b></dt> <dd>11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. — <span class="virtual">Virtual</span></dd> <dd><b>Sea Level Rise Seminar</b></dd> <dd>Speaker: Beata Csatho (Univ Buffalo)</dd> <dd>Host/Contact: Patrick Alexander</dd> </dl> <dl class="event"><dt><b>December 4, 2024</b></dt> <dd>1 p.m. to 2:15 p.m.— <span class="virtual">Hybrid</span></dd> <dd><b>GISS Lunch Seminar</b></dd> <dd>Speaker: Robert McGraw (Brookhaven Nat'l Lab)</dd> <dd>Host/Contact: Nicolas Leitmann-Niimi</dd> </dl> <dl class="event"><dt><b>December 18, 2024</b></dt> <dd>11 a.m. to 12 p.m.— <span class="virtual">Hybrid</span></dd> <dd><b>IRI Climate Forecast Briefing</b></dd> <dd>Host/Contact: Andrew W.
