MagellanPlus workshop: NHIS

NHIS Evolution of the Northern Hemisphere Ice Sheets: timing, drivers, and interconnections

Workshop Aims:

To explore synergies among different ocean drilling initiatives and ideas targeting the evolution of the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets and feedback mechanisms between cryosphere, oceans, and atmosphere.
To consolidate existing and develop new ideas and proposals to be submitted to IODP³ to optimise any future drilling expeditions in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, and their gateways.
To develop links to other IODP³ themes, such as geohazards, tectonics and deep life.
To involve ice sheet and climate modellers, who can help focus the scientific objectives towards the ground truthing of future climate change.
To foster international collaborations among researchers and support Early Career Researchers’ involvement in ocean drilling.
