SUMMARY:International Firn Workshop - Registration open
LOCATION:Online
DESCRIPTION:<div>Last September, we cordially invited you to participate in the Interna
 tional Firn Workshop, an online, community driven event that aims to bring 
 together scientists working on firn processes on land ice. We have now fina
 lized our coordinating team and are opening up the second and final phase o
 f registration. Due to a conflict with EGU, our dates have moved: our works
 hop will take place between <strong>30 May and 24 June 2022</strong>. There
  are no costs associated with attending the meeting. We will provide profes
 sional presentation coaching for all interested participants, and we aim to
  provide a low-stakes, inclusive platform to connect to the global firn com
 munity.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>We use a Slack workspace for all communi
 cation and workshop discussions. If you are interested in attending the wor
 kshop, please fill out <a href="https://forms.gle/8yQpMZFKW88rcXXg8" target

 ——————</div><div>Over the last decade, substantial progress has been made o
 n observing and modeling firn processes on land ice, including glaciers and
  ice caps outside of the large ice sheets. Understanding firn layer process
 es such as accumulation and water percolation is critical for assessing, fo
 r example, mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet, the risk of destabilizat
 ion for the floating ice shelves that buttress much of Antarctica’s ice and
 , on the other side of the mass balance equation, the future role of East A
 ntarctica in potentially storing more ice on land. With increasing detail a
 nd resolution of ice sheet and climate models, as well as remote sensing pr
 oducts, the time is right to bring together the global research community o
 n firn processes to discuss the current state of our knowledge and identify
  the future developments which will&nbsp; serve the broader cryosphere comm
 unity. To discuss this in a collaborative, collaborative and global framewo
 rk, we propose to bring together the firn research community in an online w
 orkshop, organized during the months of May and June 2022. The workshop is 
 funded by the AntClimNow Scientific Research Program by the Scientific Comm
 ittee for Antarctic Research (<a href="https://www.scar.org/science/antclim

 ria-level="1"><div>To provide an accessible-for-all framework for presentin
 g, sharing, and discussing new research on firn processes on land ice, with
  a particular focus on early-career scientists.</div></li><li dir="ltr" ari
 a-level="1"><div>To discuss and synthesize the current state of knowledge a
 nd open questions regarding the general theme of firn on land ice.&nbsp;</d
 iv></li><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><div>To enhance collaboration between 
 data-focused (observational) and modeling-focused communities, and entrain 
 expertise from neighboring disciplines such as seasonal snow and ice sheet 
 dynamics, which are essential steps in addressing the next big challenges i
 n understanding firn.</div></li></ul><div>The workshop will be organized th
 roughout May-June 2022, and consists of three phases:&nbsp;</div><ul><li di
 r="ltr" aria-level="1"><div>Sharing phase (30 May- 10 June): presenters wil
 l share their work online (via pre recorded lightning presentations). Every
 one gets a chance to explore the shared work on a cloud based video platfor
 m, which will be organized into themes that are defined by the participants
 . Slack will be used to communicate within the community.&nbsp;</div></li><
 li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><div>Topical discussion phase (13-17 June): eac
 h theme will organize an online discussion focused on the shared work. Each
  topical discussion will be organized and led by two coordinators, one earl
 y career representative and one senior scientist.</div></li><li dir="ltr" a
 ria-level="1"><div>Joint session phase (21-23 June): overview talks by them
 es and outlook/summary talks, spread over two sessions:</div></li></ul><div
 >Session 1: 21 June, 13:00-15:00 UTC</div><div>Session 2: 23 June, 19:00-21
 :00 UTC</div><div>Participants unable to attend live sessions will have imm
 ediate access to recordings of the sessions.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The
  synthesis phase (June-September) will feature the writing of the workshop 
 outcomes in a review paper by the coordinating team.</div><div>&nbsp;</div>
 <div>In addition, we will provide, at no cost to participants, optional pre
 sentation coaching provided by <a href="https://www.presentyourscience.com/
