EIS-CLIM: Solid Earth - Ice Sheet - Climate interaction in Northern Europe and Patagonia during the last deglaciation.

EIS-CLIM is an in­ter­na­tio­nal doc­to­ral re­se­arch pro­ject car­ri­ed out through a clo­se col­la­bo­ra­ti­on bet­ween the Uni­ver­si­ty of Bre­men (Ger­ma­ny) and Nor­we­gi­an Uni­ver­si­ty of Sci­ence and Tech­no­lo­gy (Nor­way). The fo­cus of the pro­ject is to crea­te a mo­del through the cou­pling of se­pa­ra­te mo­dels de­ve­l­o­ped by re­se­arch groups in Ger­ma­ny and Nor­way and ap­p­ly it to re­con­struct the de­gla­cia­ti­on his­to­ry in Nort­hern Eu­ro­pe and Pa­ta­go­nia.

The cou­p­led mo­del will be ca­li­bra­ted against pa­leo gla­ci­al, pa­leo­cli­ma­te and geo­phy­si­cal cons­traints to ge­ne­ra­te 4D mo­del re­con­struc­tions of the ice sheet and cli­ma­te chan­ges and com­pu­te GIA-in­du­ced per­tur­ba­ti­ons in the stress and ther­mal re­gimes of the crust and un­der­ly­ing mant­le. This in­ter­na­tio­nal pro­ject al­lows for a com­pre­hen­si­ve tre­at­ment of the ent­i­re cli­ma­te - ice sheet - li­thos­phe­re - mant­le sys­tem and a joint in­ter­pre­ta­ti­on of the mul­ti­di­sci­pli­na­ry data.
