Reconstructing global ice volume and bottom water temperature in the 41-kyr world - a nove — NSF Award to Brown University (RI, $6
Approximately 3 million years ago, Earth transitioned into an icehouse climate characterized by extensive continental ice sheets in both hemispheres. A notable aspect is the pronounced 41-thousand-year oscillations between relatively warm and cold climates, influenced by variations in Earth’s orbital tilt. It remains a

| Abstract | Approximately 3 million years ago, Earth transitioned into an icehouse climate characterized by extensive continental ice sheets in both hemispheres. A notable aspect is the pronounced 41-thousand-year oscillations between relatively warm and cold climates, influenced by variations in Earth’s orbital tilt. It remains a mystery how these small changes in Earth’s orbital geometry can have such big impacts on the global climate. This study aims to tackle this puzzle by reconstructing global mean oc |
