• Atlantic inflow and low sea-ice cover in the Nordic Seas promoted Fennoscandian Ice Sheet growth during the Last Glacial Maximum 

      Simon, Margit Hildegard; Rutledal, Sunniva; Menviel, Laurie; Zolles, Tobias; Haflidason, Haflidi; Born, Andreas; Berben, Sarah Miche Patricia; Dokken, Trond Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The Atlantic water inflow into the Nordic Seas has proven difficult to reconstruct for the Last Glacial Maximum. At that time, the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet grew potentially to its maximum extent. Sea-ice free conditions in ...
    • GrSMBMIP: intercomparison of the modelled 1980-2012 surface mass balance over the Greenland Ice Sheet 

      Fettweis, Xavier; Hofer, Stefan; Krebs-Kanzow, Uta; Amory, Charles; Aoki, Teruo; Berends, Constantijn J.; Born, Andreas; Box, Jason E.; Delhasse, Alison; Fujita, Koji; Gierz, Paul; Goelzer, Heiko; Hanna, Edward; Hashimoto, Akihiro; Huybrechts, Philippe; Kapsch, Marie-Luise; King, Michaela D.; Kittel, Christoph; Lang, Charlotte; Langen, Peter L.; Lenaerts, Jan T.M.; Liston, Glen E.; Lohmann, Gerrit; Mernild, Jacob Sebastian Haugaard; Mikolajewicz, Uwe; Modali, Kameswarrao; Mottram, Ruth H.; Niwano, Masashi; Noël, Brice; Ryan, Jonathan C.; Smith, Amy; Streffing, Jan; Tedesco, Marco; Van de Berg, Willem Jan; Van den Broeke, Michiel; Van de Wal, Rodecrick S.; Von Kampenhout, Leo; Wilton, David; Wouters, Bert; Ziemen, Florian; Zolles, Tobias (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Observations and models agree that the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) surface mass balance (SMB) has decreased since the end of the 1990s due to an increase in meltwater runoff and that this trend will accelerate in the future. ...
    • Robust uncertainty assessment of the spatio-temporal transferability of glacier mass and energy balance models 

      Zolles, Tobias; Maussion, Fabien; Peter Galos, Stephan; Gurgiser, Wolfgang; Nicholson, Lindsey (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-08)
      Energy and mass-balance modelling of glaciers is a key tool for climate impact studies of future glacier behaviour. By incorporating many of the physical processes responsible for surface accumulation and ablation, they ...
    • Sensitivity of the Greenland surface mass and energy balance to uncertainties in key model parameters 

      Zolles, Tobias; Born, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      We investigate the sensitivity of a distributed glacier surface mass and energy balance model using a variance-based analysis, for two distinct periods of the last glacial cycle: the present day (PD) and the Last Glacial ...
    • Sources of uncertainty in Greenland surface mass balance in the 21st century 

      Holube, Katharina M.; Zolles, Tobias; Born, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The surface mass balance (SMB) of the Greenland ice sheet is subject to considerable uncertainties that complicate predictions of sea level rise caused by climate change. We examine the SMB of the Greenland ice sheet in ...
    • Surface mass balance modeling of the Greenland ice sheet : Sensitivity and uncertainty of the energy balance model BESSI 

      Zolles, Tobias (Doctoral thesis, 2022-06-17)
      The surface mass balance is the main connection between the atmospheric climate change and the evolution of Greenland ice sheet over the next century. This thesis focuses on the development of surface mass and energy balance ...
