The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is accepting abstracts for the 2024 AGU Fall Meeting. This hybrid meeting will take place 9-13 December 2024 in Washington, D.C. and online.
The following sessions are accepting abstracts:
SESSION NS007 - Cryogeophysics: Innovations and Discoveries Through Geophysical Observations of Cold Region Environments
Conveners: Riley Culberg, Grace Barcheck, Dan Glaser, and Rodrigo Correa Rangel
Climate-driven changes in the cryosphere are actively impacting communities and ecosystems, from infrastructure degradation in permafrost regions to sea level rise from ice sheets. The cryosphere remains a challenging environment for scientific observation, particularly because subsurface processes play critical roles in its response to climate change. Geophysical methods are uniquely capable of mapping, monitoring, and characterizing subsurface properties at high spatial and temporal resolution, and provide essential information for elucidating, mitigating, and adapting to these acute and long-term changes. Conveners invite submissions describing innovations in and discoveries made by geophysical observations of cold region environments, as well as applied research, including infrastructure damage due to the degrading cryosphere. Conveners welcome contributions applying ground and airborne geophysical field studies and modeling to the characterization, and/or monitoring of cold region subsurface environments. Studies exploring multidisciplinary and multi-sensor approaches, novel and emerging methodologies, or big-data and machine-learning techniques are encouraged.

SESSION A082 - Extratropical and High-latitude Storms, Circulation Dynamics, and Extreme Events in the Rapidly Changing Polar Climate
Conveners: Xiangdong Zhang and Kent Moore
Synoptic storms and large-scale circulation patterns are prominent dynamic drivers for daily-to-decadal climate variability in the extratropics and high-latitudes and can interplay with external forcings to contribute to long-term climate change. Storms often bring extreme events, including atmospheric rivers, heavy rainfall or snowfall, high winds, ocean waves and surges, coastal flooding and erosion, abrupt temperature increases, and rapid sea ice loss. Large-scale circulation link polar and lower latitude climate and play modulating roles in storm activities. Synoptic-scale storms and large-scale circulation have demonstrated systematic changes, leading to alterations of feedback processes and contributing to anomalous variability and changes of climate and extremes. This session provides a venue to present progress on extratropical and high-latitude storm activities, circulation linkages between extratropics/tropics and the polar regions, resulting extreme events, and underlying physical processes (e.g. stratosphere-troposphere coupling, Rossby wave and jet stream dynamics, wave-mean flow interactions), along with the rapidly changing polar climate.
