The project focuses on collecting GPS and seismic data from autonomous systems deployed at remote sites spanning much of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. GPS and seismic measurements together provide a means to answer critical questions about ice sheet behavior in a warming world.
The 2019 GIA Training School will be held in Gävle, Sweden. Participants will learn how to develop and run GIA models alongside the leading researchers in the GIA community.
The application window is now closed and we hope to make acceptance announcements by the end of April. Click below to learn more about the training school and how to participate virtually.
This week at the 2018 SCAR Open Science Conference in Davos, Switzerland, Dr. Terry Wilson, lead Principle Investigator for POLENET, was awarded the 2018 SCAR Medal for International Coordination. Dr. Wilson has shown exceptional leadership in the international Antarctic community through her role as SCAR Vice-President, US delegate, Chief Officer of the Horizon Scan activity, and through activities such as organizing training schools designed for early career international scientists. Congratulations Dr. Wilson!
New results from the GNET project show the Greenland ice sheet is losing approximately 8% more ice into the sea each year than previous estimates indicated. ‘The team behind the new research said better estimates of continental rebound rates could be even more significant in estimates of ice loss from the world’s biggest ice cap, …
