Climate changed abruptly as the Nordic Seas turned rapidly from a white to a blue ocean (11.11.2020)
Widespread sea ice decline happened within 250 years or less and unleashed abrupt climate change during the last glacial period, a new study shows. This documents that the cause for the rapidity and severity of abrupt changes during the last glacial resides in the ocean. Henrik Sadatzki writes about the work he has been leading.
