12-2 How Large Were the Ice Sheets?
CLIMAP reconstruction highly controversial due to:
1. The extent that ice reached2. Ice centered on marine ice sheets3. Thickness and height of ice sheets

12-3 Glacial DirtGlacial outwash: sediment deposits from glacial meltwater

12-4 COHMAPCOHMAP (Cooperative Holocene Mapping Project) began in 1980s
Combined data-model approach to examine the last glacial maximum and subsequent changes to interglacial conditions.

12-4 COHMAP Approach1. Assemble records of changing conditions that drive climate-Over last 21,000 years
2. Ran model simulations of climate3. Climate data produced was tested against climate reconstructions

12-5 Pollen: A Climate IndicatorPrecipitation and temperature determine vegetation growth
Pollen is carried by wind, water, insects-Settles into mud and preserved

12-7 Glacial Ice SheetsIce sheets affected atmospheric flow
Massive, icy plateaus blocked/redirected the flow of air

12-8 Northern Ice SheetsMost dramatic climate changes experienced by regions closest to ice sheets

12-8 Changes in North AmericaLakes once occupied deserts in SW U.S
Pacific NW was colder and drier
Climate due to jet stream’s influence

12-8 Changes in EurasiaClimate was far harsher and colder
Less trees and vegetation

12-9 Away from the Northern SheetsClimate changes less dramatic
More affected by CO2 and methane gas

12-9 Glacial TropicsOceans were 1°-2°C cooler
-Based off plankton fossils
Tropics too far away from ice sheets to be affected
-What caused cooling in the tropics?

12-12 Tropical CoolingCLIMAP estimated tropical cooling to be small
andCritics estimated tropical cooling to be large
Which side was right?

12-12 Medium-Small CoolingDiscrepancies between land and ocean temperature changes-Lowering of sea level-Greater land response to climate forcing
