Can we use bird puke to reconstruct past ice sheets? Yes!

Šujan et al investigate the Early Pleistocene sediments in Lithuania, and conclude that the first advance of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet there happened during the Elsterian Glaciation (MIS 12). A unit that was previously interpreted as an earlier advance is now interpreted as a debris flow.

The Fork in the Road
We are at a Shakespearean "tide in the affairs of men." The technology is here, the economics finally add up, and the urgency is staring us in the face. Will we choose the path of collapse, or are we smart enough to take the roadmap to a sustainable century? Watch to find out how we can turn the "catastrophic" into the "profitable."

Scientists Push for More Ambitious Climate Targets

Researchers say a line has been crossed. For systems like #CoralReefs and #IceSheets, the #climate is already past safe.

Scientists studying climate #TippingPoints say the world should aim to limit warming to about 1 degree Celsius, warning that the 1.5-degree target enshrined in international climate agreements won’t protect coral reefs, polar ice sheets and other vital Earth systems from irreversible change.

❄️🧊💧Changes in Northern Hemisphere ice sheets can propagate through the climate system & affect the remote region of Antarctica. Testorf et al. used idealized simulations of the past 8,000 years with a coupled climate-ice sheet model to reveal a previously unknown teleconnection that sends periodic pulses of warm water to West Antarctic ice shelves, triggering a self-amplifying retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
