Overview

Sophie Nowicki is affiliated with the University at Buffalo, State University of New York in the United States. Their research spans multiple areas within Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a focus on cryospheric studies and environmental science. The principal domains of their work include atmospheric science, oceanography, and global and planetary change.

Nowicki has an extensive publication record, particularly addressing the dynamics and future projections of ice sheets and their contributions to sea-level rise. Their recent papers include:

  • Projected land ice contributions to twenty-first-century sea level rise, 2021, published in Nature
  • ISMIP6 Antarctica: a multi-model ensemble of the Antarctic ice sheet evolution over the 21st century, 2020, published in The Cryosphere
  • The future sea-level contribution of the Greenland ice sheet: a multi-model ensemble study of ISMIP6, 2020, published in The Cryosphere
  • Antarctic ice sheet response to sudden and sustained ice-shelf collapse (ABUMIP), 2020, published in Journal of Glaciology
  • Mass balance of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets from 1992 to 2020, 2023, published in Earth System Science Data

Their frequent coauthors highlight collaboration within a network of researchers specializing in earth system studies, including Hélène Seroussi, Erika Simon, Mathieu Morlighem, Heiko Goelzer, and Eric Larour.

Key publication venues where Nowicki has often contributed include:

  • The Cryosphere
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Geoscientific Model Development
  • Reviews of Geophysics
  • Geophysical Research Letters

Nowicki's research topics broadly cover:

  • Cryospheric studies and observations
  • Geophysics and gravity measurements
  • Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics
  • Climate variability and models
  • Winter sports injuries and performance
  • Geology and paleoclimatology research
  • Climate change and permafrost

This array of topics indicates an interdisciplinary approach that connects glaciology, geophysics, climatology, and even aspects of human physiology related to winter sports. Their work often involves modeling and observational techniques to assess ice sheet behavior and contributions to global sea-level trends.
