The influence of Earth surface processes on Scandinavian Ice Sheet evolution and collapse

Predictions of past and future sea level are associated with significant uncertainties. For instance, the influence of fjord formation on ice sheet dynamics and sea level remains unexplored. This project will combine sea level and ice sheet modelling with empirically constrained erosion rates. This will quantify interactions between surface processes, the solid Earth, ice sheets and sea level, exemplified by the former Scandinavian ice sheet. The grant will fund two postdocs.
