MIS 3 workshop

-produces a new paper

group picture from workshop

Twenty-six participants from fields spanning paleoceanography, ice cores, physical oceanography and climate dynamics, gathered in Bergen in early February to discuss Antarctic and Southern Ocean climate during MIS3. New ideas on the potential role of atmospheric teleconnections from the tropics and of changes in Southern Ocean deep convection in driving (or preconditioning) MIS3 climate variability were discussed. The participants are now working on a review paper that aims to test these ideas along with existing bipolar seesaw models against the latest ocean and ice core data.
