The Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) announces that the
first in a series of open seminars will be held Friday, 15 January 2016.
The ARCUS Arctic Research Seminar Series brings some of the leading
Arctic researchers to Washington, D.C. to share the latest findings and
what they mean for decision-making. These seminars will be of interest
to Federal agency officials, Congressional staff, NGOs, associations,
and the public.
The inaugural seminar (Friday, 15 January at 12:00-1:00 p.m. EST) is
entitled ‘Sea Level and Polar Warming: How Past Climate Change Informs
Us about Ongoing Sea Level Rise.’ It will be presented by Dr. Julie
Brigham-Grette, Geosciences Professor at the University of Massachusetts
and Chair of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences Polar Research Board.
Seminar Absract: Scientists now have a better understanding of how
vulnerable ice sheets and glaciers are to small amounts of polar
warming. Ongoing sea level rise due to the loss of ice mass into the sea
is and will impact coastlines profoundly but to different degrees --
i.e., the oceans are not a simple bathtub subject to uniform sea level
rise. Adaptation may require a range of actions.
This event is a brown-bag lunch that will be held in the ARCUS D.C.
office (1201 New York Avenue, NW Washington D.C. Fourth Floor). Cookies
and beverages will be provided. A live webinar is also available to
those unable to attend in person. Instructions for accessing the webinar
will be sent to 'Webinar Only' registrants prior to the event.
