Next generation ice-sheet bed measurements

Theo Murphy meeting organised by Dr Martin Siegert, Dr Richard Alley FRS, Dr Dorthe Dahl-Jensen and Dr Christine Dow.

Projections of sea-level rise under strong warming are greatly uncertain, with estimates for 2100 varying by more than 1 m and far greater thereafter. Of the sources of uncertainty, lack of knowledge of ice-sheet bed topography and material composition is important and addressable, but requires coordination to focus on the most important regions in a timely manner. This meeting will discuss the benefits of bespoke optimised surveys of the polar ice sheets, the technology available to conduct it and the international collaborations, logistics and permissions necessary to make such surveys possible.
