Webinars

The OCEAN ICE webinar series is hosted by the partner, European Polar Board (EPB). The webinar series will present the OCEAN ICE project, showcasing the work and results from the projects’ work packages, but also placing the project into a wider societal perspective. See our previous webinars below and tune in for future releases.

OCEAN ICE Introductory Webinar 

This webinar is the first in a series introducing the EU-funded OCEAN ICE project. This webinar includes an overview of the project, its goals, and the partners involved. 

Speakers:

Dr. Ruth H Mottram, Climate Scientist at Danish Meteorological Institute 

Dr. Andrew Meijers, Polar Oceans Deputy Science Leader at British Antarctic Survey 

Moderator:

Griffith Couser, Policy Officer European Polar Board

OCEAN ICE Work Package 3 Webinar 


This webinar is the second in a series introducing the EU-funded OCEAN ICE project. It is on the Work Package 3, which focuses on providing updated values and uncertainties for freshwater fluxes from the Antarctic Ice Sheet to the ocean over the satellite observational period to the present day, including surface melt and runoff, ice flow, basal melt, and calving. WP3 assesses uncertainty in the updated freshwater fluxes and will deliver improved dynamical ice sheet model process representation. 

Speakers:

Dr. Ruth H Mottram, Climate Scientist at Danish Meteorological Institute 

Elizabeth Case, Postdoctoral Researcher at Utrecht University

Dr. Gaël Durand at Université Grenoble Alpes

Keith Nicholls, Oceanographer at British Antarctic Survey 

Anastasiia Chyhareva, Early Career Scientist at National Antarctic Scientific Center of Ukraine 

Moderator:

Griffith Couser, Policy Officer at European Polar Board

OCEAN ICE Work Package 7 Webinar 

This is the third webinar in the series introducing the OCEAN ICE project. In this session, we explore data management within the project (Work Package 7 / WP7), with a special focus on using Jupyter Notebooks and Google Colab for polar research. Our invited speakers, present an overview of the OCEAN ICE Data Management Plan and infrastructure design, followed by a hands-on demonstration showing how these tools can be used to work with and elaborate research data.


Speakers:

Mariaclaudia Paolini, Project Manager at ETT

Pietro Viglino, Backend Developer at ETT

 

Moderator:

Eva Horovčáková, Senior Communications Officer at European Polar Board

OCEAN ICE Work Package 4 Webinar 

This is the fourth webinar in the series introducing the OCEAN ICE project. In this session, we explore (Work Package 4 /WP4), which focuses on quantifying deep uncertainty in the Antarctic ice sheet and freshwater fluxes under climate forcing, which is one of the key focuses of the project.


Speakers:

Jan De Rydt, Glaciologist and Oceanographer at Northumbria University

Vio Coulon, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Université Libre de Bruxelles

Qing Qin Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Northumbria University

Frank Pattyn, Glaciologist and Ice-Sheet Modeller at Université Libre de Bruxelles

 

Moderator:

Eva Horovčáková, Senior Communications Officer at European Polar Board

OCEAN ICE Work Package 2 Webinar 

In this webinar from the OCEAN ICE webinar series, we delve into (Work Package 2/WP2), which focuses on cryosphere-ocean interactions, processes, and feedbacks. Leading researchers present recent findings on ice shelves, iceberg dynamics, and ocean processes in polar regions.


Speakers:

Nicolas Jourdain, CNRS Researcher at Centre National De La Recherche Scientifique

Xiaohan Yuan, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University of Gothenburg

Stina Wahlgren, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University of Gothenburg

Yixi Zheng, Physical Oceanographer at British Antarctic Survey

Anna Olivé Abelló, Physical Oceanographer at Centre National De La Recherche Scientifique

Yavor Kostov, Ocean/Iceberg Modeller at British Antarctic Survey

Anna Wåhlin, Oceanographer at University of Gothenburg
