Reconciling Solid Earth and Ice Sheet Temperature Estimates for Greenland
In our project, we plan to analyse the thermal state of the Greenland ice sheet and lithosphere with a focus on reconciling temperature estimates for the two geospaces. Considerable differences exist in existing models and we first carry out robust geostatistical analysis of the uncertainties of both geothermal observations and ice temperature profiles. These point/profile-wise estimates will be first linked on a local scale by using auxiliary geophysical data (radar, gravity, magnetics) from airborne surveys in order to verify the compatibility of the estimates. In the second step, we will extend the analysis to the entire icesheet using temperature estimates …
