ISMIP6 workshop
“Developing process-based projections of the ice sheets’ contribution to future sea level”
We would like to invite you to the ISMIP6 workshop "Developing process-based projections of the ice sheets’ contribution to future sea level" to evaluate the output of the CMIP6 climate models and obtain forcing for standalone ice sheet model experiments. This workshop will be key for establishing the experimental protocols for the ice sheet model simulations that target the IPCC AR6 report.
Date: 11 September - 13 September 2018
The workshop will be hosted in the Netherlands at the Van der Valk Hotel Sassenheim-Leiden.
Scientific program
The program will start Tuesday morning at 9:00 and end Thursday noon at 12:30. Most participants (from outside the Netherlands) will arrive Monday evening.
Registration
The total costs for participation will be around € 525, which includes accommodation (by default single room), food and contribution to the meeting costs for the three days. This does not include an additional hotel night Monday-Tuesday (€ 135).
Individual participants can apply for travel support and/or daily allowances generously provided by CliC and EGU. While the CliC funding is open to any participant and should cover a variety of geographical location, gender and career stage, the EGU funding is specifically aimed at early career scientists. You can mention your interest for either support scheme during pre-registration which will open soon. We are actively searching more funding opportunities, so it is possible that the meeting costs will be lower in the end.
We ask a pre-registration cost of € 250. The rest has to be paid at the hotel upon checkout.
Registration is now closed.
