Dear Colleague,

We solicit abstracts to the following interdisciplinary EGU Special Session
on the Northeast Atlantic Ocean.

We hope to attract submissions in all subdiscplines including the Solid
Earth, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, Biosphere and Cryosphere. This session will
build on recent major advances in Northeast Atlantic Ocean research and
explore interest in a major cross-disciplinary data-gathering research
project going forward.

GD7.2
The Northeast Atlantic: Solid Earth, Ocean, Atmosphere, Cryosphere and
Climate
Co-organized by CL1/OS1/TS6
Convener: Laurent Geoffroy
Co-conveners: G.R. Foulger, Dieter Franke, Catherine Kissel

Interdisciplinary study of the Northeast Atlantic region offers an
extraordinary opportunity to advance understanding of interactions and
co-dependencies between the solid Earth, ocean, atmosphere, cryosphere and
climate. Understanding these issues are of critical importance to Europe
and Scandinavia, and they are of global relevance. The unprecedented surge
in exploration of the Northeast Atlantic Realm that has unfolded in recent
years has delivered major leaps forward in understanding its geological
structure, dynamics and development, economic resources and volcanism.
Examples include the complexity of the conjugate volcanic rifted margins,
contact metamorphism of carbon-rich shales by sill intrusions, producing
thermogenic methane, the discovery of widespread continental crust in the
ocean, the critical role of the Greenland-Iceland-Faroe bathymetric ridge
in influencing ocean circulation between the Arctic and the Atlantic south
of Iceland, mapping of gas hydrates and the study of crustal structure
beneath the Greenland icecap. Throughout the Cenozoic these factors have
influenced ocean and atmosphere composition and circulation, climate
change, and the growth, wastage and transport of ice. Detailed
understanding of the interdependencies of these phenomena in the past and
through time is arguably of critical importance to understanding the
current, rapid changes in the natural environment. The goal of this special
session is to bring together diverse contributions drawing on all the above
disciplines in order to identify potentially fertile areas for broad,
cross-disciplinary study of the Northeast Atlantic Realm moving forward.
