Álvarez Solas, Jorge ; Robinson, Alexander James ; Ritz, C. | Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH | 2012-06-27The effects of an ice-shelf collapse on inland glacier dynamics have recently been widely studied, especially since the breakup of the Antarctic Peninsula's Larsen-B ice shelf in 2002. Several studies have documented acceleration of the ice stre[...]texto impreso
Quaternary interglacials provide key observations of the Earth system's responses to orbital and greenhouse gas forcing. They also inform on the capabilities of Earth system models, used for projecting the polar ice-sheet and sea-level responses[...]texto impreso
This paper reviews the current knowledge of climatic risks and impacts in South Asia associated with anthropogenic warming levels of 1.5-4 A degrees C above pre-industrial values in the twenty-first century. It is based on the World Bank Report [...]texto impreso
Robinson, Alexander James ; Álvarez Solas, Jorge ; Montoya Redondo, María Luisa ; Goelzer, Heiko ; Greve, Ralf ; Ritz, Catherine | Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH | 2020-06-24We describe the physics and features of the icesheet model Yelmo, an open-source project intended for collaborative development. Yelmo is a thermomechanical model, solving for the coupled velocity and temperature solutions of an ice sheet simult[...]texto impreso
Rahmstorf, Stefan ; Box, Jason E. ; Feulner, Georg ; Mann, Michael E. ; Robinson, Alexander James ; Rutherford, Scott ; Schaffernicht, Erik J. | Nature Publishing Group | 2015-05Possible changes in Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) provide a key source of uncertainty regarding future climate change. Maps of temperature trends over the twentieth century show a conspicuous region of cooling in the norther[...]texto impreso
Mengel, Matthias ; Levermann, Anders ; Frieler, Katja ; Robinson, Alexander James ; Marzeion, Ben ; Winkelmann, Ricarda | Natl. Acad. Science | 2016-03-08Sea level has been steadily rising over the past century, predominantly due to anthropogenic climate change. The rate of sea level rise will keep increasing with continued global warming, and, even if temperatures are stabilized through the phas[...]texto impreso
Álvarez Solas, Jorge ; Robinson, Alexander James ; Montoya Redondo, María Luisa ; Ritz, Catherine | National Academy of Sciences | 2013-10-08Proxy data reveal the existence of episodes of increased deposition of ice-rafted detritus in the North Atlantic Ocean during the last glacial period interpreted as massive iceberg discharges from the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Although these have lo[...]texto impreso
Tabone, Ilaria ; Robinson, Alexander James ; Álvarez Solas, Jorge ; Montoya Redondo, María Luisa | Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH | 2019-03-28Temperature reconstructions from Greenland icesheet (GrIS) ice cores indicate the occurrence of more than 20 abrupt warmings during the last glacial period (LGP) known as Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) events. Although their ultimate cause is still de[...]texto impreso
Robinson, Alexander James ; Álvarez Solas, Jorge ; Calov, Reinhard ; Ganopolski, Andrey ; Montoya Redondo, María Luisa | Nature Publishing Group | 2017-07-06Palaeo data suggest that Greenland must have been largely ice free during Marine Isotope Stage 11 (MIS-11). However, regional summer insolation anomalies were modest during this time compared to MIS-5e, when the Greenland ice sheet likely lost l[...]texto impreso
The NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) library has become an indispensable tool for data and model output management in geoscience. However for simple tasks, particularly in Fortran, the complexity of native NetCDF functionality can be cumbersome[...]texto impreso
Álvarez Solas, Jorge ; Banderas Carreño, Rubén ; Robinson, Alexander James ; Montoya Redondo, María Luisa | Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH | 2019-06-04The last glacial period (LGP; ca. 110–10 kyr BP) was marked by the existence of two types of abrupt climatic changes, Dansgaard–Oeschger (DO) and Heinrich (H) events. Although the mechanisms behind these are not fully understood, it is generally[...]texto impreso
Yau, Audrey M. ; Bender, Michael L. ; Robinson, Alexander James ; Brook, Edward J. | National Academy of Sciences | 2016-08-30The Eemian (last interglacial, 130-115 ka) was likely the warmest of all interglacials of the last 800 ka, with summer Arctic temperatures 3-5 degrees C above present. Here, we present improved Eemian climate records from central Greenland, reco[...]texto impreso
Krapp, Mario ; Robinson, Alexander James ; Ganopolski, Andrey | Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH | 2017-07-03We present SEMIC, a Surface Energy and Mass balance model of Intermediate Complexity for snow-and ice-covered surfaces such as the Greenland ice sheet. SEMIC is fast enough for glacial cycle applications, making it a suitable replacement for sim[...]texto impreso
Coulomb-excitation experiments to study electromagnetic properties of radioactive even-even Hg isotopes were performed with 2.85 MeV=nucleon mercury beams from REX-ISOLDE. Magnitudes and relative signs of the reduced E2 matrix elements that coup[...]texto impreso
Tabone, Ilaria ; Robinson, Alexander James ; Álvarez Solas, Jorge ; Montoya Redondo, María Luisa | Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH | 2019-07-15The Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) has been suffering a significant ice mass loss during the last decades. This is partly due to increasing oceanic temperatures in the subpolar North Atlantic, which enhance submarine basal melting and ma[...]
