"Collaboration instead of academic competition" - my motto for the interview on the recent World Climate Research Program Workshop - "a climate modeling summit" - which we hosted in Hamburg. Find out why I believe so👇
Once upon a time, only about 650 million years ago, our Earth was a snowball. What was the aftermath #greenhouse#climate triggering deglaciation and the ocean's role in it?
We addressed this intriguing scientific question via a set of #EarthSystemModel experiments in the new Nature Communication paper "Moderate greenhouse climate and rapid carbonate formation after Marinoan snowball Earth" led by Lennart Ramme within his PhD project.
With the new #EarthSystemModel ICON, we find that the supergreenhouse climate was not necessarily a stable and hot climate over hundreds of thousands of years. It is also possible that the temperatures were moderate and even declined rapidly, on a time scale of just a few thousand years, in response to changes in the ocean C-cycle.
