- C03 - Alaska and British Columbia Glaciers: A Glaciological Update
Organizers of Session C03, "Alaska and British Columbia Glaciers: A
Glaciological Update," announce a call for abstracts. The session will
be convened at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, 5-9
December 2011 in San Francisco, California.
Mountain glaciers in Alaska, Yukon, and British Columbia have relatively
small ice volume compared to the polar ice sheets, however, their rapid
mass loss over the last few decades has made them significant
contributors to global sea level rise. Valley glaciers in this region
alone are contributing to some of the highest rates of sea level rise of
anywhere in the world. This particular region is the focus of many
classic glacier studies, long term observation programs, as well as
recent advancements utilizing new technologies.
This session seeks presentations involving glaciers from NW North
America covering all aspects of glaciology including, but not limited
to, field measurements, remote sensing, and modeling.
The abstract submission deadline for this and all other sessions is
Thursday, 4 August 2011 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. To submit
an abstract, you must enter the first author's current AGU member ID and
password at: http://agu-fm11.abstractcentral.com/.

- C21 - Monitoring Changes in Polar Ice Sheets and Sea Ice Using
Airborne and Satellite Remote Sensing
Organizers of Session C21, "Monitoring Changes in Polar Ice Sheets and
Sea Ice Using Airborne and Satellite Remote Sensing," announce a call
for abstracts. The session will be convened at the American Geophysical
Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, 5-9 December 2011 in San Francisco,
California.
Recent airborne campaigns, such as NASA's Operation IceBridge and ESA's
CryoVEx 2011, have improved our understanding of changes in polar ice
sheets, glaciers and sea-ice cover. These airborne observations,
combined with ground measurements, such as those made during ICEX 2011
and CryoVEx 2011, and satellite measurements from ICESat and CryoSat-2,
provide long-term records of change in polar ice, its response to
climate forcing, and contribution to sea-level change.
Organizers invite submissions that utilize satellite, airborne, and
ground observations to model and analyze arctic and Antarctic land and
sea ice and improve predictive models of sea-level rise and sea-ice
cover variability.
The abstract submission deadline for this and all other sessions is

- GC16 - Regional Climate Impacts 7. Environmental, Socio-economic,
and Climatic Changes in Northern Eurasia and their Feedbacks to the
Global Earth System: The Role of Remote Sensing and Integrative Studies
Organizers of Session GC16, "Regional Climate Impacts 7. Environmental,
Socio-economic, and Climatic Changes in Northern Eurasia and their
Feedbacks to the Global Earth System: The Role of Remote Sensing and
Integrative Studies," announce a call for abstracts. The session will be
convened at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, 5-9
December 2011 in San Francisco, California.
The Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative (NEESPI) was
launched in 2004 to address large-scale and long-term manifestations of
regional climate, environmental, and socioeconomic changes that affect
the rate of global change through atmosphere-biosphere-cryosphere
interactions and feedbacks.
Organizers invite presentations on the biogeochemical cycles, the
surface energy budget and water cycle, and climate and terrestrial
ecosystems interactions in Northern Eurasia. The foci of this year's
session are on remote sensing tools and integrative multi-disciplinary
studies within Northern Eurasia and its adjacent areas.
The abstract submission deadline for this and all other sessions is
Thursday, 4 August 2011 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. To submit
an abstract, you must enter the first author's current AGU member ID and

- ED17 - Communicating Research and its Impacts: Research
Geoscientists Perspectives
Organizers of Session ED17, "Communicating Research and its Impacts:
Research Geoscientists Perspectives," announce a call for abstracts. The
session will be convened at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall
Meeting, 5-9 December 2011 in San Francisco, California.
Research geoscientists are increasingly expected to communicate the
activities and outcomes of their research to students and the general
public. This research-enhanced outreach/teaching is required and
assessed by funding agencies as part of the research grant application
process.
Organizers invite contributions from research geoscientists'
perspectives that discuss the innovations, challenges, and solutions in
communicating research and its significance. Given the highly
interdisciplinary character of geosciences, presentations involving
research across disciplines are particularly welcome. Discussion of
research impacts of geoscience projects ranging from student work to
multinational cooperation is encouraged.
The abstract submission deadline for this and all other sessions is
Thursday, 4 August 2011 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. To submit
an abstract, you must enter the first author's current AGU member ID and
password at: http://agu-fm11.abstractcentral.com/.
