BCCR Special Seminar: The evolution of the Greenland ice sheet - from past to present

Dear all,

We also have a special Seminar by Christine Schott Hvidberg from the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. She will present her work on "The evolution of the Greenland ice sheet - from past to present". The seminar will take place in the usual BCCR seminar room (4th floor of the West wing) at 11:00.

We hope to see you there!

Best regards,

Heiko

Abstract

In the seminar, I will give an overview of how we use ice core observations to investigate the stability of the Greenland ice sheet in warmer climates. We use shallow ice cores to constrain present accumulation rates and we use deep ice cores to inform of past climate and ice dynamical changes. I will report from ongoing work to study the evolution of the Greenland ice sheet through glacial-interglacial cycles, investigate its retreat and dynamical changes in warm interglacial climate, including the Holocene, and what we can learn about its sensitivity in future warmer climates. I will also update from our ongoing field work in Greenland. We have completed the EGRIP ice core drilling in northeast Greenland and moved the camp to our former drill site GRIP and prepared re-drilling the bottom layers. This is part of the Green2ice project with the aim to determine the age of the Greenland ice sheet.

Speaker information

Christine Hvidberg is professor of climate physics in the world leading ice core research group at University of Copenhagen. She conducts ice core and glaciological research, and she has expertise in ice-sheet flow and mass balance, integrating ice cores and glaciological ice flow models. She is currently leading the Novo Nordisk Foundation challenge center PRECISE and the Horizon Europe project ICELINK.

Storm track group meeting

Hi everyone,

We’ll have our Stormtracks group meeting this Wednesday (03.12), from 12:30 to 13:30 at meeting room 212 (the second floor of east wing). This week Sinan will give a talk on Simulations of two Black Sea extreme events in the future climate using pseudo-global warming.

The meeting will be hybrid and you can join remotely via Zoom: https://uib.zoom.us/j/62886269543?pwd=ajWbi97zr0hbniaoQdZkUtD2EUSSri.1
Meeting ID: 628 8626 9543 | Password: qSKTfKU3
