Abrupt Global Climate Changes Depended on the Atmospheric Levels of Carbon Dioxide, Study Finds

In the Northern Hemisphere, big jumps within the last ice age between warm and cold climate periods might have taken place since the climate system has turned out to be volatile while atmospheric CO2 levels were between around 190 and 225 parts per million.

Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation may be Less Sensitive to Freshwater Forcing from Ice Melt

Most simulations of our climate's future may be overly sensitive to Arctic ice melt as a cause of abrupt changes in ocean circulation, according to new research led by scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

Landslide and Tsunami Signal Climate-Related Threat at a Melting Glacier

In 2020, seismologist Goran Ekström noticed a peculiar wiggle picked up on Nov. 28 by seismographs around the world. It emanated from a remote area in British Columbia's steep, glaciated Central Coast Mountains, some 2,400 miles from Ekström's office at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, in Palisades, N.Y.
