• Large changes in sea ice triggered by small changes in Atlantic water temperature 

      Jensen, Mari Fjalstad; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes; Spall, Michael A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06)
      The sensitivity of sea ice to the temperature of inflowing Atlantic water across the Greenland–Scotland Ridge is investigated using an eddy-resolving configuration of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology General ...
    • 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 ...
