ERC CoG HighBorG
With the ERC CoG "HighBorG" we explore previously unknown links between the Earth's orbit and variations in temperature, carbon, and sea level when atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) was higher than today, but similar to what is expected at the end of this century and in our near future.
HighBorG targets three distinct climatic periods:
- A hot Earth with high CO2 levels (52-46 Ma)
- A less studied period during which Antarctica was likely fully glaciated (39-23 Ma)
- A colder Earth with high CO2 levels (17-13 Ma)
