• Eemian Greenland ice sheet simulated with a higher-order model shows strong sensitivity to surface mass balance forcing 

      Plach, Andreas; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes; Langebroek, Petra; Born, Andreas; Le clec'h, Sebastien (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-15)
      The Greenland ice sheet contributes increasingly to global sea level rise. Its history during past warm intervals is a valuable reference for future sea level projections. We present ice sheet simulations for the Eemian ...
    • Eemian Greenland SMB strongly sensitive to model choice 

      Plach, Andreas; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes; Le clec'h, Sebastien; Born, Andreas; Langebroek, Petra; Guo, Chuncheng; Imhof, Michael; Stocker, Thomas F. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-19)
      Understanding the behavior of the Greenland ice sheet in a warmer climate, and particularly its surface mass balance (SMB), is important for assessing Greenland’s potential contribution to future sea level rise. The Eemian ...
    • Greenland climate simulations show high Eemian surface melt which could explain reduced total air content in ice cores 

      Plach, Andreas; Vinther, Bo M.; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes; Vudayagiri, Sindhu; Blunier, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      This study presents simulations of Greenland surface melt for the Eemian interglacial period (∼130 000 to 115 000 years ago) derived from regional climate simulations with a coupled surface energy balance model. Surface ...
    • Simulation of the Eemian Greenland ice sheet 

      Plach, Andreas (Doctoral thesis, 2019-03-05)
      This thesis focuses on the simulation of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) during the Eemian interglacial period (~125,000 years ago). The warm Eemian summers on Greenland are used as a past analogue for future warmer conditions. ...
