    • Antarctic ice sheet modelling – the needs, challenges, and opportunities for Norwegian Antarctic research 

      Langebroek, Petra Margaretha; Goelzer, Heiko; Petrini, Michele; Chandler, David Matthew (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2024-05)
      Antarctic Ice Sheet mass loss accounts for the largest uncertainties in global sea level projections. Antarctic meltwater and iceberg calving, together with changes in sea ice, also impact global ocean circulation, carbon uptake, and ecosystems. To understand, quantify and predict these changes and impacts, we employ climate and ice sheet models. Over the past 5+ years the Norwegian polar research ...

    • Simulated last deglaciation of the Barents Sea Ice Sheet primarily driven by oceanic conditions 

      Petrini, Michele; Colleoni, Florence; Kirchner, Nina; Hughes, Anna L.C.; Camerlenghi, Angelo; Rebesco, Michele; Lucchi, Renata Giulia; Forte, Emanuele; Colucci, Renato R.; Noormets, Riko; Mangerud, Jan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-19)
      The Barents Sea Ice Sheet was part of an interconnected complex of ice sheets, collectively referred to as the Eurasian Ice Sheet, which covered north-westernmost Europe, Russia and the Barents Sea during the Last Glacial Maximum (around 21 ky BP). Due to common geological features, the Barents Sea component of this ice complex is seen as a paleo-analogue for the present-day West Antarctic Ice Sheet. ...
