  2. 6. The mutual interaction between the time-mean atmospheric circulation and continental-scale ice sheets

    Author : Johan Liakka; Johan Nilsson; Johan Kleman; Gerard Roe; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Atmospheric stationary waves; Paleo ice sheets; Ice-sheet ablation; Atmosphere-ice sheet modelling; Climatology; Klimatologi; Meteorology; Meteorologi; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

    Abstract : Geomorphological evidence of glaciations exist for the Last Glacial Maximum (about 20 kyr ago). At this time, both North America and Eurasia were covered by extensive ice sheets which are both absent today. READ MORE

  4. 7. Modelling ice surface elevation changes in Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica : Bridging the gap between in-situ and numerical model reconstructions

    Author : Martim Mas e Braga; Arjen P. Stroeven; Irina Rogozhina; Jonathan M. Harbor; Clas Hättestrand; Frank Pattyn; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ice sheet modelling; glaciology; paleoglaciology; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Abstract : Ice sheets are an active component of Earth's climate system. Their topography influences atmospheric circulation and changes in their volume alters freshwater fluxes to the oceans, affecting ocean water masses, atmospheric carbon uptake, and global sea level. READ MORE

  5. 8. Petermann Glacier Ice Shelf in a warming world : Insights from 3-D numerical modelling of ice shelf-ocean interactions at Petermann Fjord, Northwest Greenland

    Author : Abhay Prakash; Nina Kirchner; Qiong Zhang; Riko Noormets; Hans Burchard; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climate change; Greenland; ice shelf-ocean interactions; numerical ocean modelling; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Abstract : The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is currently the largest contributor to global mean sea level rise, and contemporary mass loss rates are likely lower bounds for the rates to be observed in decades to come. At present, marine outlet glaciers along the northern GrIS margin, with an ice volume estimated at 400 cm mean global sea level rise equivalent, are still largely buttressed by ice shelves.

  6. 9. On the interaction between ice sheets and the large-scale atmospheric circulation over the last glacial cycle

    Author : Marcus Löfverström; Rodrigo Caballero; Johan Nilsson; David Battisti; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Atmospheric stationary waves; coupled atmosphere-ice sheet modelling; stationary wave-ice sheet interactions; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

    Abstract : The last glacial cycle (c. 115-12 kyr BP) was the most recent in a series of recurring glaciations of the subpolar continents. Massive ice sheets evolved in Eurasia and North America, which, at their maximum, were of continental scale and together lowered the global sea-level by approximately 100 m. READ MORE

  7. 10. High-resolution simulations of two cold palaeo climates in Europe : MIS 3 and LGM

    Author : Gustav Strandberg; Erik Kjellström; Qiong Zhang; Johan Nilsson; Anders Moberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Palaeo climate; climate modelling; proxy data; LGM; MIS 3; meteorologi; Meteorology;

    Abstract : The study of past climate is important because it increases our understanding of how the climate system works. Past climate is often reconstructed by using proxies (that is observations of things that tell something about past climate, for example tree rings, pollen in lake sediments and fossils). READ MORE
