When a snowball Earth deglaciates through a very high atmospheric CO 2 concentration, the resulting inflow of freshwater leads to a stably stratified ocean, and the strong …
Abstract The Proterozoic Eon (2500–542 Ma) appears to have been a warm period bookended by glaciations, despite a 5%–18% reduction in solar output compared to modern …
Continental drift and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations have each, in turn, been proposed to explain the evolution of Paleozoic climate from early era ice-free conditions to …

Supercontinent assembly and breakup can influence the rate and global extent to which insulated and relatively warm subcontinental mantle is mixed globally, potentially …
Motivated by the hemispheric asymmetry of land distribution on Earth, we explore the climate of Northland, a highly idealized planet with a Northern Hemisphere continent and a …

Reconstructing deep time climate often relies on a limited number of data points, which can hinder inference of the large‐scale climate state. Here we use an Earth system model with …
Even after more than two decades of intense research the main drivers for a potential Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth continue to be discussed controversially. In this study we …
The hard snowball Earth bifurcation point is determined by the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration (p CO 2) below which complete glaciation of the planet would occur …
Influence of Surface Topography on the Critical Carbon Dioxide Level Required for the Formation of a Modern Snowball Earth in: Journal of Climate Volume 31 Issue 20 (2018) …
