Overview

Aslak Grinsted is affiliated with the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and has contributed extensively to the fields of Earth and Planetary Sciences as well as Environmental Science. Their research encompasses multiple subfields, notably Atmospheric Science, Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law, Mechanics of Materials, and Global and Planetary Change.

Their main areas of study include cryospheric studies and observations, climate change and permafrost, winter sports injuries and performance, landslides and related hazards, Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics, geology and paleoclimatology research, and climate variability and models.

Frequent publication venues for their work include The Cryosphere, Journal of Glaciology, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Nature Communications, and Geophysical Research Letters.

Among recent notable papers authored or co-authored by Aslak Grinsted are:

  • The anatomy of past abrupt warmings recorded in Greenland ice (2021, Nature Communications)
  • Surface velocity of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS): assessment of interior velocities derived from satellite data by GPS (2020, The Cryosphere)
  • Upstream flow effects revealed in the EastGRIP ice core using Monte Carlo inversion of a two-dimensional ice-flow model (2021, The Cryosphere)
  • Improved Ice Velocity Measurements with Sentinel-1 TOPS Interferometry (2020, Remote Sensing)
  • Crystal orientation fabric anisotropy causes directional hardening of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (2023, Nature Communications)

Collaborations have occurred with several frequent co-authors, including Christine S. Hvidberg, Nicholas Rathmann, Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, David A. Lilien, and Anders Kusk, reflecting a network focused on glaciological and environmental research.
