SUMMARY:Workshop on “Glacial Isostatic Adjustment, Ice Sheets, and Sea-level Change – Observations, Analysis, and Modelling” 
LOCATION:Canadian Museum of Nature\, Ottawa\, Canada
DESCRIPTION:Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) is the response of the solid Earth to pa
 st and present-day changes to glaciers and ice sheets.  It generates crusta
 l displacements, sea-level changes, and changes to the Earth’s gravitationa
 l field. Recent developments in GIA modelling include increased considerati
 on of lateral variations in Earth structure (i.e. three-dimensional Earth m
 odels) and coupled ice-sheet/Earth modelling.  Complementing these recent d
 evelopments are ongoing investigations into paleo ice sheet extent, Earth s
 tructure, and paleo sea-level investigations.  Geodetic measurements of cru
 stal motion and gravitational change include the GIA viscoelastic response 
 to past changes, as well as the Earth’s elastic response to present-day ice
  mass changes.  \nThe outstanding source of uncertainty in projecting futur
 e global sea-level rise is the dynamical behavior of marine-based portions 
 of the Antarctic ice sheet.  These ice sheets, grounded below present-day s
 ea-level on bedrock that slopes down towards the interior, may be subject t
 o a Marine Ice Sheet Instability (MISI) featuring a positive feedback cycle
  of thinning and grounding line retreat. Where glaciers and ice sheets are 
 undergoing rapid change, the solid Earth response, which is comprised of bo
 th an elastic response to present-day change and viscoelastic response to p
 ast ice mass change, can affect the bedrock elevation relative to local sea
 -level and affect glacier flow dynamics, including grounding line migration
 , and thus affect global sea levels.  The structure and rheology of the int
 erior of the Earth determines the rapidity of the Earth’s response and the 
 strength of the potential interaction between vertical crustal displacement
  and ice sheet dynamics.\nRegistration Deadline: Registration will be first
  come, first served, and will end when capacity is reached, or on April 30,
