Prediction under uncertainty : from models for marine-terminating glaciers to Bayesian computation
… sheets have enormous potential impact on future global mean sea level rise. Recent observations suggest they are losing mass to the ocean at an accelerated rate. Skillful prediction of the ice sheets' future mass loss remains difficult, however; observations of key variables are insufficient and …

Using Sea-Level Data to Constrain the Contribution of the Greenland Ice Sheet to Contemporary and Recent Sea-Level Change
… potentially wide-reaching impacts on climate and sea-level change of a declining Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), the mass balance of the past decade has caused concern that the ice sheet is reacting to increased temperatures of the industrial era and that the ice sheet is in the initial stages of …

Sea level variability in the Tropical Atlantic since 1993 and projections to 2100
Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) is a critical climate metric that captures the cumulative effects of thermal expansion, changes in ocean mass and ice melt. Understanding GMSL is essential for coastal adaptation strategies, but regional variations can differ significantly from the global average, …

Modelling Sea-Level Reconstructions from Southern Greenland: Implications for Glacially-Induced Faulting
… its future behavior and thus its contribution to global mean sea level rise. Data and models related to glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) have provided critical constraints on past GrIS evolution. These models are necessary to interpret a variety of data, including past sea-level changes and …

Regional Sea Level Rise Along the United States Coasts
… been several studies focused on reconstructing global mean sea level (GMSL) for the 20th century, along with projecting rates out into the future. Of greater importance for mitigation and adaptation plans, however, is the rate of local or regional sea level (RSL) rise. Ocean dynamics along with …

Multi-parameter estimation in glacier models with adjoint and algorithmic differentiation
… km³ of ice, which corresponds to 70 meters of global mean sea level equivalent [30]. Simulating continental ice masses, such as the Antarctic or Greenland Ice Sheets, requires computational models capturing abrupt changes in ice sheet dynamics, which are still poorly understood. Input …

Keeping above the waves? The response of coastal freshwater peatlands to sea-level rise
Global mean sea-level rise (SLR) is accelerating and is projected to continue for centuries across all emissions scenarios. With high emissions, we cannot rule out a rise of 15 m by 2300. Understanding coastal response to SLR is a priority for policymakers and land managers, but limited attention …

Investigating North Greenland ice shelves and their response to warming climate
… This mass loss is translated directly into global mean sea level rise, with severe consequences for coastal communities around the world who will rely on accurate predictions of sea level contributions to prepare for and mitigate the resultant effects. A significant source of uncertainty in …

A study of microfabric and structures in glacial ice: insights from Storglaciären, northern Sweden
… for helping to predict and adapt to the global mean sea level rise in the coming decades and centuries. Flow produces internal structures and fabrics in glaciers that in turn influence the flow. Documenting and understanding the internal structure of glaciers is thus important for …

GEOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATION OF GLACIER GEOMETRY AND SUBGLACIAL GEOLOGY, AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON GLACIER DYNAMICS: CASE STUDIES OF TAKU GLACIER, ALASKA AND THWAITES GLACIER, WEST ANTARCTICA
… is a significant contributor to the rise of global mean sea level (GMSL) and will continue to be in the future. Rising GMSL will cause displacement of coastal populations, loss of ecosystems and rising food in- security. To plan for and mitigate these impacts, it is important to improve …
