  1. 1. Performance Optimization of Ice Sheet Simulation Models : Examining ways to speed up simulations, enabling for upscaling with more data

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskap

    Author : Fredrika Brink; [2023]
    Keywords : performance optimization; Python libraries; ice sheet simulations; Numba; Joblib; upscaling; parallelization;

    Abstract : This study aims to examine how simulation models can be performance optimized in Python. Optimized in the sense of executing faster and enabling upscaling with more data. To meet this aim, two models simulating the Greenland ice sheet are studied. The simulation of ice sheets is an important part of glaciology and climate change research. READ MORE

  3. 2. Reprocessing weather data from Smart Stake weather stations on the Greenland ice sheet

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskap

    Author : Leon Lovén; [2023]
    Keywords : ice sheet; data processing; weather station; Greenland; GEUS; Smart Stake; istäcke; databehandling; väderstation; Grönland; GEUS;

    Abstract : To identify a climate trend, a lot of data is required for the conclusion to be accurate. A trend can require 30 years worth of measurements in order to say anything with certainty about how the climate is changing. It is therefore important to utilize every source of data in climate research. READ MORE

  4. 3. Reconstructing Mid-Late Holocene Arctic Climate Using Loess Deposits From Kangerlussuaq, Greenland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : William Mörtsjö Zung; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The current geological epoch, the Holocene, began 11,700 years ago. During this time, a thermal maximum in temperature was reached somewhere during the early-middle stage at 8-5 kyrs ago which was followed by a period of neoglacial cooling, culminating in the little ice age (LIA).

  5. 4. Monitoring of heat exchanges in thesnowpack of Foxfonna glacier, Spitzbergen,Svalbard.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Thibault Desjonquères; [2022]
    Keywords : Glaciers; Glaciology; Svalbard; Geophysics; Superimposed Ice; Foxfonna; Geology.; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The processes of meltwater storage in firn and the impact of refreezing on firn-coveredglaciers have been investigated on the Greenland ice-sheet. On Svalbard, climate changepromotes the disappearance of firn on glaciers. READ MORE

  6. 5. Multi-method based characterization of calving events at Sálajiegna Glacier - Lake Sulitelma, Northern Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Martin Schulthess; [2021]
    Keywords : Glaciology; Glacier; Glaciers; Calving; calving front; detection algorithm; Acoustic; Acoustics; Photogrammetry; ice-ocean interactions; UAV; drone; time-lapse; Salajiegna;

    Abstract : Sea level rise concerns millions of people in coastal areas across the globe. One of the largest uncertainties to project future sea level rise is the frontal ablation (accounting for calving and submarine melt) at marine ice margins, around the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheet.
