• Coupled Southern Ocean cooling and Antarctic ice sheet expansion during the middle Miocene 

      Leutert, Thomas Jan; Auderset, Alexandra; Martínez-García, Alfredo; Modestou, Sevasti Eleni; Meckler, Anna Nele (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The middle Miocene climate transition (~14 million years ago) was characterized by a dramatic increase in the volume of the Antarctic ice sheet. The driving mechanism of this transition remains under discussion, with ...
    • Eurasian Ice Sheet collapse was a major source of Meltwater Pulse 1A 14,600 years ago 

      Brendryen, Jo; Haflidason, Haflidi; Yokoyama, Yusuke; Haaga, Kristian Agasøster; Hannisdal, Bjarte (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Rapid sea-level rise caused by the collapse of large ice sheets is a threat to human societies. In the last deglacial period, the rate of global sea-level rise peaked at more than 4 cm yr−1 during Meltwater Pulse 1A, which ...
    • Glacier retreat alters downstream fjord ecosystem structure and function in Greenland 

      Meire, Lorenz; Paulsen, Maria Lund; Meire, Patrick; Rysgaard, Søren; Hopwood, Mark James; Sejr, Mikael Kristian; Stuart-Lee, Alice; Sabbe, Koen; Stock, Willem; Mortensen, John (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is accelerating, with glaciers shifting from marine to land termination and potential consequences for fjord ecosystems downstream. Monthly samples in 2016 in two fjords in southwest ...
    • Shallow-water hydrothermal venting linked to the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum 

      Berndt, Christian; Planke, Sverre; Alvarez Zarikian, Carlos A.; Frieling, Joost; Jones, Morgan Thomas; Millett, John M.; Brinkhuis, Henk; Bünz, Stefan; Svensen, Henrik Hovland; Longman, Jack; Scherer, Reed P.; Karstens, Jens; Manton, Ben; Nelissen, Mei; Reed, Brandon; Faleide, Jan Inge; Huismans, Ritske Sipke; Agarwal, Amar; Andrews, Graham D.M.; Betlem, Peter; Bhattacharya, Joyeeta; Chatterjee, Sayantani; Christopoulou, Marialena; Clementi, Vincent J.; Ferré, Eric C.; Filina, Irina Y.; Guo, Pengyuan; Harper, Dustin T.; Lambart, Sarah; Mohn, Geoffroy; Nakaoka, Reina; Tegner, Christian; Varela, Natalia; Wang, Mengyuan; Xu, Weimu; Yager, Stacy L. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was a global warming event of 5–6 °C around 56 million years ago caused by input of carbon into the ocean and atmosphere. Hydrothermal venting of greenhouse gases produced in ...
    • Warming beneath an East Antarctic ice shelf due to increased subpolar westerlies and reduced sea ice 

      Lauber, Julius; Hattermann, Tore; de Steur, Laura; Chiche, Elin Maria Kristina Darelius; Auger, Matthis; Nøst, Ole Anders; Moholdt, Geir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Understanding how climate change influences ocean-driven melting of the Antarctic ice shelves is one of the greatest challenges for projecting future sea level rise. The East Antarctic ice shelf cavities host cold water ...
