Glacial Inception on Baffin Island: The Role of Insolation, Meteorology, and Topography

Glacial Inception on Baffin Island: The Role of Insolation, Meteorology, and Topography

Geologic evidence suggests that the last glacial inception (115 kya) occurred within the mountains of Baffin Island. Global climate models (GCMs) have difficulty simulating this climate transition, likely because of their coarse horizontal resolution that smooths topography and necessitates the use...
