  4. CLImate MApping and Prediction • The project was funded by the NSF • Imbrie, Hays, and Shackleton • Reconstruct LGM • Sediment cores to reconstruct oceanic conditions • Vegetative zones • Extent of glaciation

  5. In class activity part #1 • In groups of four • Skim the CLIMAP papers for the assumptions (modern and/or LGM) used in the model-based LGM reconstruction • CLIMAP (1976), The surface of the ice-age earth, Science, 191(4232), 1131-1137. • CLIMAP (1984), The last interglacial ocean, Quatern. Res., 21(2), 123. • Compare between papers

  6. CLIMAP assumptions

  7. In class activity part #2 Let’s look at the model results from CLIMAP for the LGM in your web browser, go to http://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/SOURCES/.CLIMAP/
