• Simulated retreat of Jakobshavn Isbræ since the Little Ice Age controlled by geometry 

      Steiger, Nadine; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes; Åkesson, Henning; de Fleurian, Basile; Nick, Faezeh M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-12)
      Rapid retreat of Greenland's marine-terminating glaciers coincides with regional warming trends, which have broadly been used to explain these rapid changes. However, outlet glaciers within similar climate regimes experience ...
    • Simulating last interglacial climate with NorESM: role of insolation and greenhouse gases in the timing of peak warmth 

      Langebroek, Petra; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07-10)
      The last interglacial (LIG, ~130–116 ka, ka = 1000 yr ago) is characterized by high-latitude warming and is therefore often considered as a possible analogue for future warming. However, in contrast to predicted ...
    • Topological Constraints by the Greenland–Scotland Ridge on AMOC and Climate 

      Rheinlænder, Jonathan Winfield; Ferreira, David; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Changes in the geometry of ocean basins have been influential in driving climate change throughout Earth’s history. Here, we focus on the emergence of the Greenland–Scotland Ridge (GSR) and its influence on the ocean state, ...
    • Transient Increase in Arctic Deep-Water Formation and Ocean Circulation under Sea Ice Retreat 

      Bretones, Anais Magali; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes; Jensen, Mari Fjalstad; Brakstad, Ailin; Yang, Shuting (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      While a rapid sea ice retreat in the Arctic has become ubiquitous, the potential weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) in response to global warming is still under debate. As deep mixing occurs ...
    • Unraveling the mechanisms and implications of a stronger mid-Pliocene Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in PlioMIP2 

      Weiffenbach, Julia E.; Baatsen, Michiel L. J.; Dijkstra, Henk A.; Von Der Heydt, Anna S.; Abe-Ouchi, Ayako; Brady, Esther C.; Chan, Wing-Le; Chandan, Deepak; Chandler, Mark A.; Contoux, Camille; Feng, Ran; Guo, Chuncheng; Han, Zixuan; Haywood, Alan M.; Li, Qiang; Li, Xiangyu; Lohmann, Gerrit; Lunt, Daniel J.; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes; Otto-Bliesner, Bette L.; Peltier, W. Richard; Ramstein, Gilles; Sohl, Linda E.; Stepanek, Christian; Tan, Ning; Tindall, Julia C.; Williams, Charles J. R.; Zhang, Qiong; Zhang, Zhongshi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The mid-Pliocene warm period (3.264–3.025 Ma) is the most recent geological period in which the atmospheric CO2 concentration was approximately equal to the concentration we measure today (ca. 400 ppm). Sea surface temperature ...
