The Novo Nordisk Foundation in Denmark awarded engineering professor Hélène Seroussi and Earth sciences professor Mathieu Morlighem a $1 million grant to develop a model that will accurately predict the behavior of ice sheets and provide essential information about the future of sea-level rise. Ice sheets have begun losing mass at unprecedented rates, a reality that has the potential to dramatically alter sea-level rise over the coming centuries. With their model, Professors Morlighem and Seroussi hope to shed light on the extent to which this issue could impact the future of the climate. The Dartmouth sat down with Morlighem to talk about his research.
