Paleo Data

Paleo data encode changes in the planetary climate, on the scale of the entire history of Earth. These data may be obtained using a wide variety of geological methods. With the GHub gateway, we hope to smooth the way for collaborative use of and easy access to these informative datasets for forecasting ice sheet melting. Efforts are now underway to extract basin information from existing models.

  1. Climate Forcing Datasets
  2. Paleoclimate Records

Greenland Mass Balance

Mass Balance and Velocity Data for Greenland's Ice Sheets at High Elevations (Thomas et al., Science, 2001).

 

Paleoclimate records

Paleoclimate datasets from the polar regions. Does it have to only be the polar regions? what is datasets from other areas are of use? Could we be biasing our analysis if there are teleconnections?
