Presentation

  • RESEARCH PROFILE

Competencies in reconstruction Quaternary variability of the Greenland Ice Sheet and changes to the surrounding ocean currents based on Greenland fjord, shelf and deep sea sediment cores. North Atlantic paleoclimatology, paleoceanography and climatic teleconnections based on marine and lake sediment cores.  Research interests includes:

  • Ocean cryosphere interactions and tipping elements in the North Atlantic climate system
  • Ocean cryosphere interactions by marineterminating glaciers
  • Sediment fluxes from the Greenland ice sheet
  • Using paleodata for numerical model improvement

  • SEA-GOING CORING EXPEDITIONS

Lead PI, organizer, and licensee to seven sea-going cruises to retrieve sediment cores in southeast and west Greenland with local vessels. All conducted cruises successful and more than 80 cores in GEUS repository. Co-PI or collaborator to another seven cruises, where I used my berths to send ECRs from my research group:
