The University of Hawaii Sea Level Center, in collaboration with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and University of California at Irvine hosted the 2018 Ice Sheet System Model (ISSM) Sea-Level Workshop. It was the first time an ISSM workshop was dedicated to Sea-Level Science and took place June 11-12 at the at the East-West Center on the campus of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. It was hosted by Pr. Phil Thompson of the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center and sponsored by the N-SLCT NASA Science Team.
Interactive sessions were offered for beginner/advanced users and developers interested in learning how to use ISSM. Updates to ISSM since the 2016 Workshop, including user-requested features, were presented. Specific focus was placed on tutorials that allow users to make use of ISSM's SESAW capabilities, including computation of sea-level fingerprints using GRACE based estimates of ice-mass changes, use of high-resolution meshes to refine sea-level estimates in specific areas of the world, and computation of resulting stresses in the Earth crust (including lateral and vertical displacements). Participants were invited to showcase their work during an open poster session and science talks were organized around relevant topics.
To all attendees, thank you for your participation!
The workshop took place at the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center campus, in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. Meetings were held in the Pacific Room of the East West Conference Center , June 11-12, from 9AM to 5 PM.
