How the Greenland Ice Sheet responds to climate change is important for society for a number of reasons, least of which is sea level rise. Understanding ice sheet stability is central to this effort. In this regard, lessons from the past afford a view into ice sheet processes and history on timescales longer than what is available in the historical record and which are crucial for future predictions.

The Greenland Ice Sheet Workshop will be a three-day workshop focused on Greenland Ice Sheet stability, with an emphasis on lessons from the past.

When: 
Wed, 04/19/2023 to Sun, 04/23/2023
Where: 
University of Massachusetts Amherst

The International Arctic Workshop is a friendly, informal, and relaxed conference open to all students and professionals interested in the Arctic.
