The past glacial period and ensuing deglaciation were punctuated by multiple episodes of abrupt climate change. Despite decades of research, the causes of the rapid changes remain largely unknown, and, crucially, they are very difficult to reproduce with Earth System Models. In this seminar, I will present a series of recent and brand new climate model experiments for the last deglaciation, exploring the climate-ice-ocean interactions that trigger major abrupt changes in, for example, ocean circulation, surface temperature, ice volume and sea level. I will conclude the presentation with some of our work-in-progress using uncertainty quantification to produce the best and most rigorous models of climate change.
