Despite the ice sheet's remote location, its slushy fingers reach across the globe, influencing sea levels and how fast the Gulf Stream current moves.

Sudden shift in 'forcing' led to demise of Laurentide ice sheet

Researchers say a shift in 'radiative forcing' began prior to 9,000 years ago and kicked the deglaciation into overdrive. The results are important, scientists say, because they may provide a clue to how ice...
