BRITICE-CHRONO: Constraining rates & style of marine influenced ice sheet decay

BRITICE-CHRONO: Constraining rates & style of marine influenced ice sheet decay

Liverpool P-I Richard Chiverrell: A five-year NERC-funded consortium of more than 40 researchers comprising glaciologists, marine and terrestrial scientists and ice-sheet modellers. Our aim is to collect data to provide the world’s best empirical reconstruction of a shrinking ice sheet (the British Irish Ice Sheet), for use in improving ice sheet models, and to provide the long term (hundreds to thousands of years) context against which contemporary observations (years to decades) can be assessed.
