Antarctica – a flying tour of the frozen continent

During the last two decades scientists have witnessed large and rapid changes on outlet glaciers in both Greenland and Antarctica. Outlet glaciers drain the majority of the polar ice sheets and consequently these changes can threaten their stability and lead to rising sea levels. At least part of the changes has been ascribed to changes in the dynamics of these glaciers. It is therefore important to investigate their flow governing processes and document changes herein. Fortunately, repeat airborne and satellite imagery, together with remote sensing analysis and image processing techniques, have facilitated data collection
in recent years. A great opportunity to study Antarctica arose for glaciologists with the launch of the Canadian RADARSAT-1 satellite in 1995 and the RADARSAT-1 Antarctic Mapping Project (RAMP), which completed two mapping missions in 1997 and 2000. RAMP provided the first complete high-resolution radar mosaic of Antarctica and allowed for unprecedented
detailed velocity measurements of Antarctic ice streams. This talk highlights some of the advances that have been made in our understanding of ice flow in Antarctica.

Jan Wuite

started his academic career at the Department of Environmental Sciences of the University of Amsterdam. He received his PhD in geology from the Ohio State University, where he specialized in glaciology and worked at the Byrd Polar Research Center under a NASA fellowship. His main interests go out to remote sensing and field studies of past and present glaciations. His research focuses in particular on the polar regions. He has been involved in several international research projects focused on monitoring changes in the cryosphere. At present he works at the Geophysics Laboratory of the University of Luxembourg
and is involved in a project to infer ice mass-changes in Greenland using GPS measurements.

The combustion process in spark-ignited engines depends strongly on the mixing and turbulent fluctuations of the flow field during the ignition and combustion of the premixed fuel. Recent computations of these flows with large eddy simulation (LES) indicate a better prediction compared to unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes methods (uRANS). The investigated engine was a modified Rotax one-cylinder four-valve engine.

Franco Magagnato

studied mechanical and aerospace engineering at Darmstadt before joining Dornier in 1987 where he developed a code for transonic and supersonic applications. In 1993 he became a senior researcher at the Centre for Research and Development for CFD in Cagliari, Italy.
He received his PhD from the University of Darmstadt in 1995 when he also joined the University of Karlsruhe, where he later became the head of the computational fluid dynamic group in the Institute of Fluid Machinery. His main interest lies in the research of new physical and numerical models for large eddy simulation applied in various areas like turbo-machinery, automotive and aerospace aerodynamics and internal combustion engines. He is also the main developer of the CFD-code SPARC.
