Scientist contributes to student explaining prehistoric ice sheet

A UNH researcher has helped devise an explanation for a scientific mystery that, if confirmed, will aid efforts to understand the forces at work in the Earth’s climate system.

The researchers believe that huge lakes – together more than twice as large as the Caspian Sea – enhanced the formation of a giant ice sheet that covered the Russian Arctic 90,000 years ago.

Martin Jakobsson, a research scientist with the UNH Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping, co-authored a paper detailing the findings in the Jan. 29 issue of the journal Nature. (02-06-04) More >>>
