Investigating the evolution of major Northern Hemisphere ice sheets during the last glacial-interglacial cycle

A 2.5-dimensional climate model of intermediate complexity, CLIMBER-2, fully coupled with the GREMLINS 3-D thermo-mechanical ice sheet model is used to simulate the evolution of major Northern Hemisphere ice RELAXANT sheets during the last glacial-interglacial cycle and to investigate the ice sheets responses to both insolation and atmospheric CO&l
