• Modeled and Observed Bedrock Displacements in North‐East Greenland Using Refined Estimates of Present‐Day Ice‐Mass Changes and Densified GNSS Measurements (2021) · Journal of Geophysical Research Earth Surface · cited 15× · doi

  Abstract Models of the glacial‐isostatic adjustment (GIA) to past ice‐mass changes exhibit large differences in north‐east Greenland owing to insufficient knowledge about glacial history and Earth rheology.

• Persistent influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation on Late Holocene hydroclimate in southwestern Greenland (2026) · Nature Communications · doi

  Little is known about the historical behaviour of the NAO before the pre-instrumental period. Challenges in obtaining high-resolution climate records that span the entire Holocene have hampered efforts to robustly determine the precise timing of climate change.

• Persistent influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation on Late Holocene hydroclimate in southwestern Greenland (2026) · Nature Communications · doi

  Further study is needed to understand the mechanisms by which the NAO influences hydroclimate in southwestern Greenland. Additional research is required to determine the sensitivity of precipitation variability to future climate change. The development of new proxy records and climate models may help to improve our understanding of the historical behaviour of the NAO.

• Central Pacific El Niño-driven Pacific–Atlantic teleconnections are an important source of North Atlantic Oscillation predictability (2026) · Communications Earth & Environment · doi

  Further research is needed to investigate the impact of other climate modes on NAO predictability. The study's findings should be verified using other models and datasets. The research should be extended to other seasons and regions.
