Abstract

Explore the volume of ice on Earth, its rate of change, and insolation at 65°N over the last 4 ice ages.

This tool is a Jupyter notebook that allows you to explore the relationships among different paleoclimate time series and explore what they mean for the ice ages in Earth's history.  Developed for GLY 102 Homework 3.

This tool will help you explore how Earth’s orbital parameters vary in time, and how this affects the amount of solar insolation received at certain points on Earth’s surface. In particular, it will help you answer some questions about how summertime insolation at 65°N latitude affects the growth and melting of large glaciers, such as the one that covered North America during the last ice age.
