SC3: Earth-Ice-Sea Level

SC3 Earth-Ice-Sea Level (EIS)

OBJECTIVES:

Bridge between Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) community with a focus on Antarctica and other research fields addressing Antarctica and other research fields addressing Antarctica
Communicate scientific progress on different processes affecting past, present and future sea level which are driven by solid earth-ice sheet interactions
Address uncertainty of Antarctica’s contribution to past and future sea-level change (check out our recent publications listed under Resources, below)
Improve understanding of the interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, solid Earth and the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS)
