Sentences with phrase «involving ice sheet modelling»

Not exact matches

Another promising approach involves combining physics, statistical modeling and computing to derive sound projections for the future of ice sheets.

Prognostic modelling can also involve reconstructing past ice sheets.

Climate models provide sensitivity estimates that may not fully incorporate slow, long - term feedbacks such as those involving ice sheets and vegetation.

That typically occurs in ice - sheet model simulations that involve more than about 2 m of sea - level - equivalent mass loss.

Examples: Weertman (1976a)(Northwestern Univ., IL, and the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, Hanover, NH); note also his pioneering calculation of ice sheet buildup and shrinkage times, Weertman (1964); Sergin (1979)(Laboratory for Mathematical Modeling of the Climate, Pacific Institute of Geography of Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok, but written while visiting NCAR, Boulder, CO); Budd and Smith (1981)(Meteorology Dept., U. Melbourne); as a perhaps more typical example, Young (1979)(Antarctic Division, Dept. of Science and Technology, Kingston, Tasmania) conservatively showed a response time of perhaps 20,000 years; an especially influential model involving ice sheet buildup delay was Imbrie and Imbrie (1980); a good review is Budd (1981).

He is also deeply involved in ice - sheet modeling with specific developments in areas such as ice core dating and temperature reconstruction based on paleothermometry.
