PP11E:
Sea Levels and Ice Sheets during Past Warm Periods: Looking to the Past to Understand the Future I
Session ID#: 10870
Session Description:
Past interglacial periods are of interest for the scientific community as they represent ‘natural experiments’ involving climate systems that were slightly warmer than today. Of particular interest is the degree to which relatively small perturbations to climate forcing variables such as atmospheric temperature, insolation, or CO2 can lead to polar ice volume and sea level changes. Currently, the research community is focused on understanding sea level and ice volume history during marine isotope stage (MIS) 5, MIS 11, the Mid-Pliocene and other past warm periods. In this session (part of the PAGES/INQUA PALSEA2 working group), we welcome contributions tackling the problems and perspectives related to a better understanding of paleo sea levels and ice sheets from different disciplines, either with modelling or field-oriented approaches.
