Climate: Past, Present & Future

Edward Forman

Edward Forman is a PhD student at the University of Southampton. His research aims to reconstruct past climate tipping cascades using wind-blown particles found in sub-Antarctic peat to better understand the mechanisms, thresholds and impacts of climate tipping points. His previous research includes finding evidence of Gulf Stream movement migration during the Little Ice Age using reconstructed sea surface temperatures, and developing the tool presented in the blog article.

As we try to predict what will happen under increasing anthropogenic climate change, climate models can only get us so far. Another key is understanding past changes in the Earth’s climate. To do this, palaeoclimatologists turn to natural archives (e.g., sediment cores and speleothems) and extract records of past variability using their properties, such as chemical or physical composition.
