The AGU Fall Meeting 2017 is coming up at a fast pace and we are excited to present some of our scientific work we have been busy with during the last year.
We are also exited and proud to be chairing a session on the High Mountain Hydrosphere with posters Wednesday afternoon (session) and an interesting oral session on Thursday morning (session). The session features talks from all over the globe aimed at improving our understanding of high mountain hydrology using a wide range of techniques.
We have something to present to you on every single day of the week!
Monday
- In the morning Pleun will show results from her WRF modelling of high-altitude precipitation (abstract), looking at the impact of different resolutions on model outcomes.
- In the afternoon Emmy will present her estimation of the fraction of high-altitude solid precipitation that returns back to the atmosphere through sublimation (abstract).
Tuesday
- In the morning Jakob will present his poster on the recent Khurdopin Glacier surge, which we documented using Planet satellite imagery (abstract). To learn more about this study, have a look at our brief communication in The Cryosphere.
Wednesday
- Walter will give a presentation early morning about the drivers of the future water gap in the Ganges-Indus-Brahmaputra basins (abstract).
- Maxime will present his recent findings on the differences in turbulent fluxes over debris-covered and debris-free glaciers (abstract) during our poster session in the afternoon.
- In the same session, Pascal will present his efforts in modelling supraglacial ice cliffs on debris-covered glaciers and estimating their contribution to the glacier mass balance (abstract).
Thursday
- As part of our own session, Remco will present his findings on the influences of cropland irrigation on high-altitude precipitation (abstract).
- Later in the morning Philip will present his recent paper on the consequences of climate warming on the glaciers in High Mountain Asia (abstract).
Friday
- Evan will talk about seasonal deformation of Khumbu Glacier as measured from remote sensing and field observations in the morning (abstract).
- Jakob will talk about turbulent fluxes on a debris-covered glacier just after lunch (abstract).
- Jakob will also present some recent investigations into the terrestrial ice margin in Greenland in the afternoon (abstract).
- On Friday afternoon, Joseph and Philip will present their work on the multi-temporal UAV monitoring of a mountain snow pack in the Canadian Rockies using optical and thermal sensors (abstract).
