SUMMARY:Come rain or snow: extreme precipitation in Antarctica - Dr Ella G
 ilbert\, British Antarctic Survey (PolarRES project)

DESCRIPTION:The amount of ice locked up in the Antarctic ice sheets matter
 s to all of us because it influences sea levels worldwide. And several reg
 ions have been losing ice at an accelerating rate in recent decades\, incl
 uding the West Antarctic and Antarctic Peninsula. Precipitation is the onl
 y factor that offsets ice losses\, so influences the rate of sea level ris
 e by moderating ice losses. Therefore\, quantifying how much snow and rain
  falls - and under what circumstances - is of vital importance. In many re
 gions\, a high proportion of precipitation falls during extreme events\, o
 ften associated with atmospheric features like storms and atmospheric rive
 rs. In this talk\, I will show some recent work exploring the drivers and 
 consequences of extreme precipitation events in Antarctica\, and try to pl
 ace this within the context of recent and future climate change. \n\n\nJoi
