Modeling polar glaciation [PDF]
A key measure of our understanding of polar glaciation is the ability to model the initiation, maintenance, and elimination of glaciation over Antarctica and high-latitude land masses in the Northern Hemisphere. Studies that address questions of Cenozoic

Recently, the “mountain-geobiodiversity hypothesis” (MGH) was proposed as a key concept for explaining the high levels of biodiversity found in mountain systems of the Tibeto-Himalayan region (THR), which comprises the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, the ...

Northern Hemisphere Glaciation during the Globally Warm Early Late Pliocene [PDF]
The early Late Pliocene (3.6 to ∼3.0 million years ago) is the last extended interval in Earth's history when atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations were comparable to today's and global climate was warmer.

Changes and representativeness of mountain glaciation parameters
The study was aimed at analysis of changes in the area Fgl, the number Ngl and statistical parameters of distribution for different aggregates of glaciers over two periods: 1946–1975 and 1976–2005.

Routes to global glaciation [PDF]
Theory and observation suggest that Earth and Earth-like planets can undergo runaway low-latitude glaciation when changes in solar heating or in the carbon cycle exceed a critical threshold.

Mountain uplift and the glaciation of North America – a sensitivity study [PDF]
The Miocene (24 to 5 million years ago) wasa period of relative global warmth compared to the Quaternary(2 million years ago to present; e.g. Zachos et al.,2001) and was characterised by the intermittent glaciationof Antarctica only.
