Regional climate modelling: Simulation of the Greenland ice sheet climate and surface mass balance with the regional climate model MAR
- Recent changes (ex: Fettweis, 2007; 2017)
- Future projections (ex: Fettweis et al., 2013)
- Current climate of the Greenland ice sheet: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020
- Current climate of the Antarctica ice sheet: 2020
- Contribution of the Greenland ice sheet to present and future sea level rise (ex: for the FP7 ICE2SEA project, ANR Greenland project and the Fifth Assessment Report of IPCC in 2013).
- Evaluation of the CMIP3/CMIP5 global models as forcing for the regional models (ex: Belleflamme et al., 2012)
- Outputs of the MAR model: MARv3.x , MAR outputs for ISMIP6
- Weather forecasting
- leader of the SMBMIP intercomparison exercice.
Remote sensing: retrieving melt extent and albedo over Greenland from satellite data (ex: Fettweis et al., 2011)
Atmospheric circulation pattern clustering: impact of the general circulation in the recent surface melt increase over the Greenland ice sheet with the help of an automatic circulation type classification. (ex: Fettweis et al., 2013)
Climatological time series analysis with wavelets transform (ex: Nicolay et al., 2011)
