Job description
Gaining a better understanding of the past history of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) under different climate conditions and deglacial states is extremely important for understanding how it will respond to present and future climate warming. Geophysical models that model the evolution of the ice sheet rely on marine limit and relative sea-level (RSL) data from the most recent deglacial period (c. 14,000 years ago to present) to tune and validate their outcome, and as such, the data is extremely important for understanding the response of solid earth to deglaciation of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
The Postdoc will compile all Greenland marine limit and RSL data and thus will contribute to an overview of the spatial variability of past land motion behavior of Greenland. Moreover, the Postdoc will develop new databases, containing all metadata, and which will be made open-access and publicly available.
The project will be carried out in collaboration with Co-I Associate Professor Dr. Sarah Woodroffe (Durham University, UK) and Co-I Emeritus Dr. Svend Funder (University of Copenhagen).
