Gregor Knorr's recent significant papers include:

  • The Miocene: The Future of the Past, 2020, Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology
  • DeepMIP: model intercomparison of early Eocene climatic optimum (EECO) large-scale climate features and comparison with proxy data, 2021, Climate of the past
  • Simulating Miocene Warmth: Insights From an Opportunistic Multi-Model Ensemble (MioMIP1), 2021, Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology
  • Direct astronomical influence on abrupt climate variability, 2021, Nature Geoscience
  • Contribution of the coupled atmosphere-ocean-sea ice-vegetation model COSMOS to the PlioMIP2, 2020, Climate of the past

Their work broadly addresses climate variability, model intercomparison, paleoclimatic warm periods like the Miocene and early Eocene, and complex interactions within the coupled atmosphere-ocean-sea ice-vegetation system. The scientist's contributions link geological and paleoclimatological data with climate modeling, supporting a better understanding of past and future climate dynamics.
