Advancing our understanding of polar stratospheric clouds in particular related to their role in polar ozone loss
|
2015
|
|
|
Antarctic
|
Improving the physically-based estimates of sea-level change coming from West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) over the present century and beyond
|
2013
|
|
|
Arctic and Antarctic
|
An analysis of the three budgets that govern the evolution of sea ice and its impact on the Earth’s climate system, namely conservation of heat, momentum balance, and tracer conservation
|
2014
|
|
|
Arctic
|
Examining whether recent extreme weather in North America, eastern Asia and northern Europe are random events or were related to recent global or Arctic climate change
|
2014
|
|
|
Greenland and Antarctic
|
A consortium of international ice sheet models and coupled ice sheet-climate models that fully explore the sea level rise contribution from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets

Improves understanding of the Antarctic sea ice zone through focussed and ongoing field programs, remote sensing and numerical modelling
|
1996
|
|
(Jointly with SCAR/IASC)
|
Greenland and Antarctic
|
Research on the estimation of the mass balance of ice sheets and their contribution to sea level, and integration of observations and modelling efforts
|

(Jointly with Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation (FPA2))
|
Arctic and Antarctic
|
a global competition challenging teams to push the boundaries of polar ocean monitoring capabilities. The first team to complete a 2000km continuous mission with an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) under the sea ice in the Arctic or Antarctic will win the prize money totalling 500,000 CHF.
