JOB ALERT: Postdoctoral scientist position at UCLouvain: Role of winds and oceanic interactions on sea ice changes in the Southern Ocean over the past millennium

Using a new reconstruction of sea ice extent and wind changes over the past millennium and sensitivity experiments performed with a climate model, the main objective of the project WINDSCOOP is to determine the impact at multi-decadal timescale of winds and oceanic processes on the sea ice cover. This will improve our understanding of the …

JOB ALERT: Postdoctoral fellowship on Arctic and Antarctic sea ice-ocean modelling available at Université catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium

Global climate model simulations still have significant biases in the extent of summer Arctic and Antarctic sea ice. One of the reasons is the coarse resolution of the models, which forbids an adequate representation of the processes that control the evolution of the ice edge, such as the interactions between sea ice and oceanic eddies, …
