Excited to share a new review paper w/Anne de Vernal & @biggreenplanet (bosses of paleoceanography and glaciochemistry) that asks: When in the Holocene was Greenland warmer than today, and WHAT did that look like on land and at sea? 1/10 annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…
Arctic summers were warmer than today for a long chunk of the last 10,000 years. As a result, many of Greenland’s glaciers disappeared. Perennial sea ice north of Greenland retracted 1000 km. Marine species and warmth-needing shrubs migrated northward. 2/10
