Though sea-level contributions may be the same, increasing the spatial resolution in models provides more details about outlet glaciers. Heiko Goelzer writes about a new study of the Greenland ice sheet. 

Stephen Outten and Ingjald Pilskog run the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research podcast and recently talked to Igor Ezau about heatwaves and their dangers.

Exceptionally large export of sea ice through the 1300 might have triggered the onset of the Little Ice Age. Such abnormal behaviour might happen "out of the blue" from internal variability within the climate system, Martin Miles and colleagues suggests in a new study. 


Unormalt store mengder sjøis i drift sørover i byrjinga av 1300-tallet kan ha satt i gang den vesle istida, og viser eit nytt studie. Tilfeldige og spontane klimaendringar kan vere grunnen til at det kom så mykje is – som igjen sette i gang mange hundre år med kulde i Europa.

Big data demand new tools. To find out how much CO₂ the Atlantic will take up in the future, researchers pick up an old one. The legacy of Mendel. 

Margit Simon and her colleagues have detected anthropogenic CO2 from the 1950s and onwards in sediments from the Icelandic shelf. Here she writes about their new study.
