Aims

The next in the OCEAN:ICE series of Climate Coffee events focuses on Antarctic Ice Sheet melt.

Future climate predictions depend on how the AIS responds to ocean warming and freshwater input into the Southern Ocean. Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) is a key heat source for melting ice shelves, so understanding past CDW temperature changes helps us model ice sheet response.

Speaker David Chandler focuses on ice sheet dynamics and the AIS response to past climates, using modeling to understand Antarctica’s contribution to higher sea levels during the Last Interglacial period. During this 45 minute event, he’ll share the climate reconstructions and ice sheet simulations he’s been working on as part of the EU-funded TiPACCs project. The aim is to shed light on Antarctica’s contribution to higher sea levels during the last interglacial period. And, therefore, whether it could make similar contributions with projected future warming.

Climate Coffees are short, informal online get-togethers for scientists to share ideas, discuss methods, and communicate new results. It’s an opportunity to network and share their work. This one is organized by OCEAN:ICE, the Danish Meteorological Institute and the European Climate Research Alliance.
