| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted future-climate simulations for the Greenland ice sheet with the SICOPOLIS model, driven by atmospheric and oceanic forcings produced by an ensemble of global climate models (including MIROC). The simulated sea-level contribution of the Greenland ice sheet for the period 2015–2100 is 133.0 ± 40.7 mm for the RCP8.5/SSP5-8.5 pathway that represents continued emissions of greenhouse gases, and it is 48.6 ± 6.2 mm for the RCP2.6/SSP1-2.6 pathway that represents ambitious emissions reductions. Further, we constructed a new geothermal heal flux map for Greenland, simulated the impact of an observed basal mega-canyon on subglacial water flow, and investigated the local dynamics of Bowdoin Glacier and the NEEM ice core.
