Research focus
My scientific interest is focused on modelling ice sheets and their interaction with other components of the Earth system. With this work I help improving our understanding of the evolution of ice sheets and their contribution to sea-level change in past, present and future.
Selected articles
- Heiko Goelzer et al.: The future sea-level contribution of the Greenland ice sheet: a multi-model ensemble study of ISMIP6
In this paper we use a large ensemble of Greenland ice sheet models forced by output from a representative subset of CMIP5 global climate models to project ice sheet changes and sea-level rise contributions over the 21st century. - Heiko Goelzer et al.: Remapping of Greenland ice sheet surface mass balance anomalies for large ensemble sea-level change projections
We present a method for applying SMB forcing from climate models to a wide range of Greenland ice sheet models with varying and temporally evolving geometries. - Heiko Goelzer et al.: Brief communication: On calculating the sea-level contribution in marine ice-sheet models
We discuss a consistent and generalised approach for estimating the sea-level contribution from marine ice sheets.
