DOC-SWEET - Deep Ocean Circulation during Super-Warm Early Eocene Temperatures
Dr T van de Flierdt, Dr D Lunt
Applications accepted all year round
Knowledge of our future climate rests almost entirely on the accuracy of complex numerical models of the Earth system. These models are rooted in our understanding of the current climate state, and therefore require evaluation when simulating the substantially warmer climates expected in the future.
