This bi-weekly seminar, organized jointly by the University of Oslo, the Meteorological Institute, CICERO and NILU, invites renowned international experts to contribute to an informal series of lectures, meant to create interaction with the Oslo atmospheric and climate science community on recent highlights and analysis in the field. All seminars will be held on Thursdays.

BCCR Seminar:
April 29, 2024 14:15
BCCR cross theme seminar: paleo science day
1). Dave Chandler – “Antarctic Ice Sheet tipping points – past and present”
About the talk:
This talk focuses on the question of whether tipping points in Antarctica could lead to rapid and irreversible sea-level rise in the near future. We have explored this possibility using modelling experiments based on the ice sheet’s current state, and using simulations through glacial-interglacial cycles of the past 800,000 years. Our results suggest that the present-day climate, with a little or perhaps no additional ocean warming, is sufficient to trigger tipping points in West Antarctica that will contribute 4 m sea-level rise. Reversal of this ice loss would need over 1C ocean cooling below present.
These experiments were part of the Tipping Points in Antarctic Climate Components (TiPACCs) project, which has recently finished.
About the speaker:
“I am mainly a glaciologist, with an interest in both the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. I also work on Southern Ocean paleoclimate, and before coming to Bergen I was working for several years as an arborist in Scotland & New Zealand.”

BCCR Seminar is a weekly forum for the presentation of research connected to the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. Some of the talks are given by international visitors but the majority are presented by internal researchers. If you are interested to receive the seminar information and the zoom link regularly, you can send an email to Birgit Rinder (birgit.rinde@uib.no) or Wanyee Wang (yunw@norceresearch.no) and subscribe to the mailing list.
