17. Abrupt climate change: Challenges for Earth system understanding
Co-conveners: Gerrit Lohman (gerrit.lohmann@awi.de), Ruza Ivanovic (R.Ivanovic@leeds.ac.uk), Lauren Gregoire (L.J.Gregoire@leeds.ac.uk), Gregor Knorr (grgorknorr@hotmail.com), Stephen Barker (BarkerS3@cardiff.ac.uk) and Andrea Burke (ab276@st-andrews.ac.uk)
Understanding the dynamics of past periods in which abrupt changes have occurred remains a major challenge in climate research. For example, during the last deglaciation (21 thousand years ago until present) several large and abrupt environmental changes took place that have been linked with collapsing ice sheets and rapid reorganisations of ocean circulation. Reaching a better knowledge of how and why these abrupt changes took place, as well as their effect on the wider environment, is key to achieving a fully process-based understanding of the climate system.
The fundamental questions remain: How can progressive climate trends trigger such rapid events? Are they stochastic responses in a variable Earth System? What are the ice-ocean-atmosphere interactions that lead to these events? What was their impact on environmental systems? For this session, we invite contributions covering data acquisition and high-resolution records, new model concepts and mechanistic studies, as well as combined data-model analyses that provide a basis for an enhanced understanding of abrupt environmental change.
Regular meeting for ice2ice modelers in Bergen. However all ice2ice members are welcome

Inaugural Lecture by Professor Jens Hesselbjerg Christensen
The employment of Jens Hesselbjerg Christensen at the Niels Bohr Institute is part of an endeavor to strengthen the strategic collaboration on research in atmosphere and climate at the Niels Bohr Institute and the Danish Meteorological Institute.
Apart from the lecture itself, there will be talks by the managements of both the Danish Meteorological Institute and Science, University of Copenhagen.
Organizer: Eigil Kaas
Hei hei everyone!
We have the pleasure of inviting you all to Benoit Lecavaliers talk this Thursday (June 1st) at 15:00 in the Undervisningsrom4020 in 4th floor, West Wing GFI. The talk will be on his newest paper published last week with the title “A high Arctic Holocene temperature record and Greenland ice sheet evolution “. For those of you who haven’t met Benoit yet, he’s a visiting PhD student from Memorial University, St. John’s, Canada until mid June, at the moment located in the top floor in the West Wing.
Cheers,
Silje and Kerim
Abstract:
We present a revised and extended high Arctic air temperature reconstruction from a single proxy that spans the past ~12,000 years (up to 2009 CE). Our new reconstruction from the Agassiz ice cap (Ellesmere Island, Canada) indicates an earlier and warmer Holocene Thermal Maximum with early Holocene temperatures that are 4-5 oC warmer compared to a previous reconstruction and regularly exceed contemporary values for a period of ~3,000 years. Our results show that air temperatures in this region are now at their warmest in the past 6,800–7,800 years and that the recent rate of temperature change is unprecedented over the entire Holocene. The warmer early Holocene inferred from the Agassiz ice core leads to an estimated ~1 km of ice thinning in Northwest Greenland during the early Holocene using the Camp Century ice core. Ice modeling results show that this large thinning is consistent with our new air temperature reconstruction. The modeling results also demonstrate the broader significance of the enhanced warming, with a retreat of the northern ice margin behind its present position in the mid Holocene and a ~25% increase in total Greenland ice sheet mass loss (~1.4 m sea-level equivalent) during the last deglaciation, both of which have implications for interpreting geodetic measurements of land uplift and gravity changes in northern Greenland.
Monthly meeting in Bergen.
