The University of Hawaii Sea Level Center, in collaboration with the <
a href="http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NASA Jet P
ropulsion Laboratory and University of California at Irvine will
host the 2018 I
ce Sheet System Model Sea-Level Workshop (ISSM, http://issm.jpl.nasa.gov) a
t the East-West Center on the campus of the
University of Hawaii at
Manoa, June 11-12. It will be hosted by Pr. Phil Thompson of the University
of Hawaii Sea Level Center and sponsored
by the N-SLCT Sea-Level NASA
Science Team. This time, the workshop will focus entirely on new state of
the art capabilities related to Sea-Level
and Solid-Earth simulations
in ISSM.
Interactive sessions will be offered for beginners/advanced
users and developers interested in learning how to use ISSM. Specific focus
will be on tutorials that allow users to make use of GRACE ice mass change
dataset to compute sea-level fingerprints and refine them on a global scal
e at a level compatible with complex local coastal geometries. Part of the
workshop will also be dedicated to the computation of solid-earth surface s
tress and deformation resulting from ice and sea-level related loads. Parti
cipants will be invited to showcase their work during an open poster sessio
n, and science talks will be organized around relevant topics.
