The International Glaciological Society will hold a second International Symposium on ‘Interactions of Ice Sheets and Glaciers with the Ocean’ in 2016. The symposium will be held on the oceanfront in La Jolla, California, USA, from 10–15 July 2016. It is a follow-on to the successful 2011 IGS symposium on the same theme, which brought together 194 delegates from nearly 20 countries and resulted in the publication of 36 peer-reviewed research articles cited over 650 times since 2012. The Symposium will also serve as the first of two annual Forum for Research into Ice Shelf Processes (FRISP) meetings to be held in 2016. FRISP (http://folk.uib.no/ngfso/FRISP/index.html) originated as a subcommittee of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Working Group of Glaciology.
The thematic focus of the Symposium is on ice–ocean interaction in the broadest sense, and all interpretations of this theme will be welcome as submissions for presentation at the meeting. Suggestions for specific topics of interest are:
1. Mass balance of ice shelves and tidewater glaciers, including the physics of melting and freezing at the ice–ocean interface and iceberg calving, forcing from ocean and atmosphere, and sensitivity to climate change
2. Dynamics of ice shelves and tidewater glaciers, including the response to changes in surface and basal mass balance, response to ocean variability (e.g. tides, sea ice, ice melange, storm events and tsunamis), impact of calving events, and processes influencing ice rheology and susceptibility to fracture
3. Coupling between grounded and floating ice, including controls on the location and evolution of grounding lines, response of inland ice to thinning and breakup of ice shelves and termini of tidewater glaciers, and the inland transmission of ocean forcing
4. Oceanic response to the input of ice, including the impacts of meltwater and icebergs on regional and global ocean circulation and sea level
5. Role of atmosphere/sea-ice/ocean processes in delivering ocean heat to glaciated coastlines, including the impact of past, present and future climate variability
6. Records of change in ice shelves and tidewater glaciers, including time series derived from direct observation and studies of the past impacts of ice sheet–ocean interaction preserved in the ice core and marine geological record
7. Observational and modeling techniques that advance our understanding of ice sheet–ocean interaction, including strategies for understanding processes, and instrumental monitoring, of ocean forcing and ice sheet/glacier response.
To ensure smooth and swift peer review and production, please
use igs2ejournalguide.tex or igs2eannalsguide.tex as both a template and a guide when writing your paper
submit your paper as a single pdf file in [review] mode
provide a single figure file for figures with several panels (i.e. avoid the use of \stfloat, \subfloat, etc.)
avoid the use of colour or shading in tables
do not define new commands, macros or shortcuts
strip out unnecessary comments not part of the paper itself (e.g. deleted sections, tables or figures, previous drafts)
ensure references are in the correct/precise IGS journal format in terms of order, emphasis and punctuations and that they include doi numbers where available (see the LaTeX template/guide for details)
