Climate dynamics, paleoclimate, and climate modelling.

Interdisciplinary research in Earth Sciences focused on understanding the dynamics of climate change on a wide range of timescales, including tectonic, orbital and millennial, by using a hierarchy of climate and ice sheet models combined with marine and terrestrial proxy data.

A yearly summer school offered to advanced PhD candidates and early career scientists focusing on current topics relating to climate dynamics and interdisciplinary research within paleoclimate.

ACDC2014: "The Dynamics of the Greenland Ice sheet", Arctic Station, Disko Island, West Greenland

ACDC2013: "The Dynamics of the last Deglaciation", Nyksund, Vesterålen, northern Norway.

ACDC2012: "Landscapes and Climate", Snøheim, Dovre, Norway.

ACDC2011: "Dynamics of Past Warm Climates", Friday Harbor, Washington State, USA.

ACDC2010: "Ice-Ocean Interactions", MIT FabLab, Lyngen, northern Norway.

ACDC2009: "Understanding the basic state, variability, forcing and stability of the Ocean overturning circulation in the past, present and future", Espegrend Marine Research Station, Bergen, Norway.

The summer schools are supported by SiU and ResClim.
