The Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology in Jena is seeking an PhD Position (f/m/d) (Dept. Prof. Dr. Ricarda Winkelmann, „Integrative Earth system science”, co-supervision by Dr. Torsten Albrecht) at the earliest possible date.
The DFG (https://www.dfg.de/en) project “Feedbacks between the Greenland and Antarctic ICE sheets via the Meridional Overturning Circulation and relative sea-level“ (ICE-MOC) is funded the priority program “Antarctic Research with Comparative Investigations in Arctic Ice Areas” (https://www.spp-antarktisforschung.uni-rostock.de/en) and aims to systematically investigate potential global cascading feedback mechanisms and teleconnections in a changing climate with a focus on the vulnerability of the continental-scale ice sheets on millennial time scales connected by the oceans. The PhD candidate will conduct simulations with a coupled model system involving dynamic ice sheets, ocean, sea- level and solid Earth components (Glacial Isostatic Adjustment - GIA).
The coupled model simulation provide the tools to improve the understanding of the different physical relationships of
(1) the Greenland Ice Sheet interacting with the solid Earth and sea level, and
(2) how Greenland melt trajectories affect the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and the Antarctic Ice Sheet stability, and in the other direction,
(3) to disentangle feedbacks in response to Antarctic Ice Sheet decline with the Greenland Ice Sheet interacting both via the ocean and via sea-level changes.
