Research

The GRate project has three specific research aims that include different tools and techiniques. Each is expanded upon in a separate research section:

1. Creating a simulation of the entire Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) at high spatial and temporal resolution. The simulation will include several critical components, complete treatment of marine-terminating glaciers, complete ice-ocean interactions, and semi-coupling with a solid earth model.
2. Improving constraints on our terrestrial and marine conditions around Greenland with our paleo climate data, while also expanding our work with paleoclimate proxy records to incorporate more proxy records to improve our reconstruction of Holocene climate. 
3. Collecting new field observations to better constrain modeled ice sheet histories and crustal loading histories in critical locations around Greenland, especially northern and eastern Greenland.
