We are pleased to announce the next talk in our Webinar Series on Ice Sh
eets, Sea Level and GIA in the months leading up to the WCRP Sea Level Meet
ing (https://www.sealevelconference.org/) and
PALSEA workshop (https://palseagroup.weebly.com/), both in
Singapore and online in July, 2022.
The talk is scheduled for M
ay 10 (2 p.m. Eastern, 11am Pacific, 8 p.m. Central European)/May 11 (6:00
a.m. Wellington, N.Z.)
Terry Wilson and Doug Wiens on “Cryosphere – So
lid Earth Interactions in Antarctica: Insights from Geodetic and Seismic Me
asurements”
Speaker Bios:
Terry Wilson is Academy Pro
fessor in the School of Earth Sciences and senior research scientist in the
Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center at the Ohio State University. With
her research group and collaborators, she investigates the structural archi
tecture of Antarctica and the interactions between the solid Earth and the
Antarctic ice sheet, using structural field observations, geophysical and g
eodetic data; she has spent 25 austral summers collecting field data in Ant
arctica. The Antarctic Network (ANET) of the Polar Earth Observing Network
(POLENET), a collaborative project led by Wilson, operates autonomous GNSS
and seismic sensors across West Antarctica.
Doug Wiens is
the Robert S. Brookings Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary
Sciences at Washington University in St Louis. He has worked extensi
vely on the structure of the Antarctic continent, as well as ice quakes and
other seismic phenomena in Antarctica. He has participated in the de
velopment of seismic instrumentation and the deployment of seismographs in
Antarctica going back to the 1990s. He also works on the structure a
nd seismicity of subduction zones in the Western Pacific, using data from o
cean bottom seismographs.
