From Erik.R.Ivins at jpl.nasa.gov Wed Aug 11 09:10:48 2010 From: Erik.R.Ivins at jpl.nasa.gov (Ivins, Erik R (3242)) Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 09:10:48 -0700 Subject: [IGSMAIL-6226] AGU Session G18: Recent Advances in Observation and Modeling of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment Message-ID: Author:Erik Ivins, Matt Simpson, Shfaqat Abbas Khan Dear colleagues, Please consider submitting an abstract to the following session at Fall AGU (deadline 2nd September): Session Title: Recent Advances in Observation and Modeling of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment Session Abbreviation: G18 Description: Observations of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) inform us about how the solid Earth responds to surface loading changes. Such observations can, for example, be used to infer details of Earth structure and help us understand both past and present climate change. We invite contributions on observation and modeling related to GIA and especially encourage studies that focus on currently glaciated regions. Studies that adopt a variety of data types are welcome, although we particularly support those that consider geodetic observations (GPS, GRACE, etc), including combinations of these. We also welcome submissions focusing on separating signals, such as isolating the elastic and viscous components of Earth response.
