Feenstra, Thirza (author)The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), which stores freshwater equal to more than seven meters of potential sea level rise, strongly interacts with the global, Arctic and North Atlantic climate. In a warming climate, the GrIS has been losing mass and is projected to lose mass at an increasing rate. The interactions between the GrIS and the climate have...master thesis 2024

Muntjewerf, L. (author), Sacks, William J. (author), Lofverstrom, Marcus (author), Fyke, Jeremy (author), Lipscomb, William H. (author), Ernani da Silva, C. (author), Vizcaino, M. (author), Thayer-Calder, Katherine (author), T. M. Lenaerts, Jan (author), Sellevold, R. (author)Earth system/ice-sheet coupling is an area of recent, major Earth System Model (ESM) development. This work occurs at the intersection of glaciology and climate science and is motivated by a need for robust projections of sea-level rise. The Community Ice Sheet Model version 2 (CISM2) is the newest component model of the Community Earth...journal article 2021

(author), Forte, Emanuele (author), Colucci, Renato R. (author), Noormets, Riko (author), Mangerud, Jan (author)The Barents Sea Ice Sheet was part of an interconnected complex of ice sheets, collectively referred to as the Eurasian Ice Sheet, which covered north-westernmost Europe, Russia and the Barents Sea during the Last Glacial Maximum (around 21 ky BP). Due to common geological features, the Barents Sea component of this ice complex is seen as a...journal article 2020

(author), Pattyn, Frank (author), Wuite, Jan (author), Berthier, Etienne (author), Nagler, Thomas (author)Pine Island Glacier and Thwaites Glacier in the Amundsen Sea Embayment are among the fastest changing outlet glaciers in West Antarctica with large consequences for global sea level. Yet, assessing how much and how fast both glaciers will weaken if these changes continue remains a major uncertainty as many of the processes that control their...journal article 2020

van Dongen, Eef (author)Ice flow, forced by gravity is governed by the Full Stokes (FS) equations, which are computationally intensive to solve due to their non-linearity. Therefore, it has been unavoidable to approximate the FS equations when modeling growth and collapse of an ice sheet-shelf system, which requires simulating many thousands of years. However, the most...master thesis 2017
