报告简介：

Glaciers terminating in the ocean and lakes are changing more rapidly than those terminating on land. Among glaciers terminating in water, freshwater calving glaciers are particularly important in regions, including Patagonia, Alaska and New Zealand. Despite the importance, studies are sparse in freshwater calving glaciers and glacial lakes in contrast to recent progress in the research on tidewater glaciers. Studies are required for the processes at the boundary of ice and freshwater because they are significantly different from those of tidewater settings. This presentation discusses current understanding of freshwater glacier frontal processes based on our in-situ observations in Patagonia.

报告人简介：

Shin Sugiyama is a Professor at the Institute of Low Temperature Science and the director of the Arctic Research Center, Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan. He studies a broad aspect of mountain glaciers and polar ice sheets. The primary goal of his research is to better understand physical processes driving glacier changes from detailed in-situ data with the aid of satellite observations and numerical experiments. The focus of his current research is ice-water interactions at the front of marine- and lake-terminating glaciers in Greenland, Antarctica and Patagonia.
