Aslak Grinsted

Aslak Grinsted is an Associate Professor at the Physics of Ice, Climate and Earth section within the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen. His research focuses on ice flow modeling, particularly through computational simulations of glaciological processes and climate-ice interactions.

His work spans multiple subfields including ice stream dynamics, firn densification, subglacial hydrology, anisotropic ice mechanics, and Greenland Ice Sheet stability. Recent publications analyze 2D firn densification, crystal fabric anisotropy, and subglacial drainage cascades, with specific applications to the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream and Dome C ice cores.

Collaboration networks show extensive work with institutions like University of Copenhagen, DARK Cosmology Centre, and Technical University of Denmark. Research outputs frequently appear in journals such as Journal of Glaciology, Nature Communications, and The Cryosphere, covering topics like ice failure strength, temperature-ice volume relationships, and grounding line migration.
