[IGSMAIL-6224] Fall AGU session G16: Observing and Interpreting Regional Sea Level Change

[Eric Leuliette]

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you of a Fall AGU session on “Observing and Interpreting Regional Sea Level Change” (see link and info below).  Accurate forecasts of future regional sea-level changes are required for coastal impact and adaptation assessment, and this session aims to address recent results in regional and coastal ocean science.  We encourage a wide range of submissions spanning oceanography, geophysics, and geodesy related to regional sea level rise. As noted in the description below, the submissions applying a variety of geodetic and oceanographic techniques are welcome, including altimetry, tide gauges, hydrography, GPS/GNSS, tide gauges, satellite gravity, glacial isostatic adjument, as well as model studies and combined analysis.

Note the AGU deadline for abstract submissions is September 2nd.

Please feel free to contact any of us with questions.
Thanks

Description: Altimetry observations reveal regional changes in sea level that vary significantly from the global mean. Understanding this variability is essential for giving relevant advice regarding future sea level rise to society. Recent developments have led to a better understanding of the sources of regional sea level change. Examples include advances in retrieving altimetry data near coasts, simultaneous analysis of GNSS and tide gauge data to reduce the range of rates observed along the coasts, and the impact of circulation on tide gauge records. This session solicits a wide range of studies that examine the regional variability of sea level, including ocean modeling and combined analysis of in situ and geodetic data sets.
