Direct goals of this effort aim to establish critical constraints on the sensitivity of the Greenland Ice Sheet margin to surface forcings (temperature and precipitation), particularly over southwestern Greenland where paleoclimate evidence supports possible retreat inland of the current ice margin during the middle Holocene. Also, relying on developments in data assimilation and inversion capabilities within ISSM, paleoclimate archives of past margin history will be used as targets to invert for unknown parameters such as basal friction and surface mass balance, which are critical components dictating ice sheet variability. By looking at the past behavior of the Greenland Ice Sheet we hope to produce improved spinups which account for not only the past thermal evolution of the ice sheet over the last glacial cycle, but also one which accounts for past variability in margin history. In doing so, a potential outcome will also help to constrain variables that are crucial in dictating the variability of the ice sheet during the past.<\/p>\n<p>Contact: jcuzzone [at] uci.edu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/morlighem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2019\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-01-14-at-4.05.24-PM.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<h4>Thiago dos Santos<\/h4>\n<p>Postdoc<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>2018-present<\/p>\n<p>International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, Adaptive Mesh refinement<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"uk-button uk-button-primary uk-margin-small-right\" type=\"button\" uk-toggle=\"target: #modal-santos\">Learn More<\/button><\/p>\n<p><!-- This is the modal --><\/p>\n<div id=\"modal-santos\" uk-modal=\"\">\n<div class=\"uk-modal-dialog uk-modal-body\">\n<h2 class=\"uk-modal-title\">Thiago dos Santos<\/h2>\n<p>Thiago did his PhD at University of Campinas in Brazil, and developed Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) in ISSM.
