Karlee Prince is a PhD Candidate at the University at Buffalo where she is researching the relative sea level history of Greenland.

The Greenland Ice Sheet is one of the main contributors to modern global sea level rise. We can reduce the uncertainty in future sea level projections by understanding how the ice sheet responded to past changes in climate. The Holocene history (11,700 years ago to present) of vertical land movement around Greenland is important to investigate since ice sheet growth and decay influence glacial isostatic adjustment. We can use ice sheet and glacial isostatic adjustment models to predict vertical land movement and use field data to test the accuracy of the prediction. This work will help increase our knowledge of the sensitivity of the Greenland Ice Sheet to past and future climate change
