West Antarctic Ice Sheet melt attribution
Disentangling human influence from natural variation in the ocean-driven melt of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet using ocean model ensemble experiments.
Identified glacial and continental runoff influence on the composition of water that transits through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago using a manganese (Mn) model. Studied the extension of Atlantic water from Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and the Archipelago using a Pb model.
Developed trace element ocean models of manganese (Mn) and lead (Pb) to quantify the sources, sinks, and processes governing trace element distributions in the Canadian Arctic. Used simple 1D, more complex 3D, and lagrangian models to help inform and extend explanations of trace element observations.
