Ice Cores
The deep ice cores from Antarctica have revealed an unparalleled view of the changes in, and linkages between, the climate and the atmosphere over several climate cycles. Further, comparison of the Antarctic cores with the deep ice cores from Greenland has shown the inter-hemispheric exchange of energy, probably via the Meridional Overturning Circulation, has lead to a difference in phasing...

Ice Cores
Deep ice cores contain information about past climates that were as warm as, or warmer than, today. These warm times are the nearest analogs for our future climate. This talk will address what key pieces of information are contained in deep ice to inform us about a warmer future, including rates and ultimate fates of sea level rise and abrupt climate change, which is climate change on time...
