Full Description
This examination focuses on the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets, investigating their behavior during the Quaternary period, including formation, movement, and melting processes.
The study of glacial dynamics is essential for understanding past climate variations and informing predictions of future glacial responses to climate change.
Candidates will be assessed on their ability to explain glacial processes, including ice flow mechanisms, thermal conditions, and feedback loops within the climate system.
A thorough comprehension of these dynamics is critical for assessing both past and potential future scenarios related to climate and sea-level changes.
Sample Questions
- What factors govern the movement of glaciers and ice sheets during the Quaternary?
- How do thermal conditions affect ice sheet behavior in response to climatic changes?
