PhD Project
Linking ocean warming and glacier mass change in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago
In my PhD project I will study the interactions between glaciers in the Canadian Arctic, where many marine terminating glaciers are present, and the regional ocean circulation. This is of importance, since the Canadian Arctic Archipelago contains nearly 30 % of the Earth's glaciated area outside of the ice sheets and feedback mechanisms involved could thus enhance mass loss in this region and thereby accelerate sea-level rise. Additionally, the flux of freshwater this might produce, could even influence larger-scale ocean circulation patterns.
My approach to this problem is coupling a glacier model to an ocean model, so that we can understand the processes involved in those interactions as well.
