The sea-level conundrum: Case studies from palaeo-archives
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
Uncertainties in sea-level projections for the 21st century have focused ice sheet modelling efforts to include the processes that are thought to be contributing to the recently observed rapid changes at ice sheet margins.
Description
This effort is still in its infancy, however, leaving us unable to make reliable predictions of ice sheet responses to a warming climate if such glacier accelerations were to increase in size and frequency.
The geological record, however, has long identified examples of nonlinear ice sheet response to climate forcing (Shackleton NJ, Opdyke ND. 1973. Oxygen isotope and paleomagnetic stratigraphy of equatorial Pacific core V28â239, late Pliocene to latest Pleistocene. Geological Society of America Memoirs145: 449â464; Fairbanks RG. 1989.
