Influence of ocean - ice sheets interaction on global warming projections

Wednesday, April 9th, CERFACS Conference Room - 15h00
Anthropogenic global warming is likely to melt part of the huge ice sheets located in Greenland and Antarctica. The impact of such melting on the oceanic circulation and climate will be explored in this seminar. For this purpose I have used two different state-of-the art climate models. The results reveal intriguing oceanic mechanisms in response to ice sheet melting and coupled climate-ice sheet feedbacks, which will be here quantified in terms of sea-level rise.
The talk will be given in french.
