A procurement tool for streamlined Input-Output sustainability Assessment [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 Data collection for supply chain sustainability analysis is a difficult and time-intensive task. We have therefore developed an application-oriented tool for streamlining sustainability analysis in the supply chain.

Coupling framework (1.0) for the PISM (1.1.4) ice sheet model and the MOM5 (5.1.0) ocean model via the PICO ice shelf cavity model in an Antarctic domain [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2021 The past and future evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is largely controlled by interactions between the ocean and floating ice shelves. To investigate these interactions, coupled ocean and ice sheet model configurations are required.

Tracing the Snowball bifurcation of aquaplanets through time reveals a fundamental shift in critical-state dynamics [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2023 The instability with respect to global glaciation is a fundamental property of the climate system caused by the positive ice-albedo feedback. The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) at which this Snowball bifurcation occurs changes through ...

Fracture-induced softening for large-scale ice dynamics [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 Floating ice shelves can exert a retentive and hence stabilizing force onto the inland ice sheet of Antarctica. However, this effect has been observed to diminish by the dynamic effects of fracture processes within the protective ice shelves, leading to ...

Collateral transgression of planetary boundaries due to climate engineering by terrestrial carbon dioxide removal [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2016 The planetary boundaries framework provides guidelines for defining thresholds in environmental variables. Their transgression is likely to result in a shift in Earth system functioning away from the relatively stable Holocene state.

Simple models for the simulation of submarine melt for a Greenland glacial system model [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Two hundred marine-terminating Greenland outlet glaciers deliver more than half of the annually accumulated ice into the ocean and have played an important role in the Greenland ice sheet mass loss observed since the mid-1990s.

The Earth system model CLIMBER-X v1.0 – Part 1: Climate model description and validation [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2022 The newly developed fast Earth system model CLIMBER-X is presented. The climate component of CLIMBER-X consists of a 2.5-D semi-empirical statistical–dynamical atmosphere model, a 3-D frictional–geostrophic ocean model, a dynamic–thermodynamic sea ice ...

Critical impacts of global warming on land ecosystems [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2013 Globally increasing temperatures are likely to have impacts on terrestrial, aquatic and marine ecosystems that are difficult to manage. Quantifying impacts worldwide and systematically as a function of global warming is fundamental to substantiating the ...

Dynamic regimes of the Greenland Ice Sheet emerging from interacting melt–elevation and glacial isostatic adjustment feedbacks [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2022 The stability of the Greenland Ice Sheet under global warming is governed by a number of dynamic processes and interacting feedback mechanisms in the ice sheet, atmosphere and solid Earth.

Water savings potentials of irrigation systems: global simulation of processes and linkages [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2015 Global agricultural production is heavily sustained by irrigation, but irrigation system efficiencies are often surprisingly low. However, our knowledge of irrigation efficiencies is mostly confined to rough indicative estimates for countries or regions ...
