Ice Sheet

2 reports
Ice Sheet is a climate phenomenon expressed through circulation, temperature, precipitation, feedbacks, and regional connections. Current understanding relies on circulation pattern, feedback mechanism, and model simulation, with uncertainty tracked across measurement, classification, and reconstruction.

Work involving Ice Sheet is reported through satellite and field measurements; surface melt and dynamics; and sea-level or carbon effects. The account anchors sea-level or carbon effects in reanalysis products and uses independent climate models to test whether the pattern extends beyond one dataset; interpretation remains cautious because short records, natural variability, and scenario assumptions can widen uncertainty.

Ice Age cave art in Ireland suggests earlier human arrival

Archaeologists have identified prehistoric engravings and paintings in eight caves in southwest Ireland, potentially extending the earliest evidence for human presence on the island by 5,000 years and raising new questions about Ice Age migration routes
