Dear ICEr’s,
Please hold the time slot of Thursday, July 14, 2016 4:00 to 5:00 for an ISE TEAM Meeting. This is a popular time slot, so we may have to do a little josling. Let me know if you already have another meeting
planned for that time.
Best,
LIndsey

Subject: HB Cooperator's Meeting Abstract
Hi All,
I am planning to submit the following abstract for the HB Ice Storm Experiment for a 10 minute talk. We will have several people talk…
Edits or comments are welcome till COB today.
Why Ice Storms Aren't Cool: Early Results from the Hubbard Brook Ice Storm Experiment
The Hubbard Brook Ice Storm Experiment (ISE) is a
multi-faceted program of research designed to better understand the past, present and future impacts of ice storms on northern hardwood forests of
the northeastern United States. Initiated in May 2015 with a grant from the National Science Foundation, components of this research include (i) the development of high-resolution global climate model simulations to evaluate future severity, frequency and
extent of ice storms; (ii) a field-based ice storm simulation experiment; (iii) evaluation of longer-term (17+ years) responses of forest vegetation to the 1998 storm; (iv) incorporation of ice storm and extreme events into the PnET-BGC ecosystem biogeochemical
model; (v) use of the results from the high-resolution climate simulations to drive the improved PnET-BGC model to project future ice storm impacts on northern hardwood forest C and N dynamics; and (vi) broader impacts involving a program to use sensor technology
to engage STEM students with disabilities in the study; a dialog of the impacts of ice storms with local stakeholders; the production of a video on the making of an ice storm and relevance to extreme events and climate change, and undergraduate, graduate and
post-doctoral training. This talk will focus on early results from the global climate modeling efforts, the field experiment, and outreach and education.
