This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Cycle A Atmosphere Ice Sheets 04 Davis, Ice Sheets ice core samples used to examine firn layers and provide archive/timeline of atmospheric/climatic conditions, enabling scientists to predict future patterns and effects by studying the past, Climate Event (global warming) causes Ice Sheets Melting (Event), Greenhouse gases of Carbon Dioxide (important forcing), Ice Sheets Melting (Event) results in change in ocean currents, water temperatures, causing changes in weather patterns, archive/timeline of atmospheric/climatic conditions, enabling scientists to predict future patterns and effects by studying the past shows atmospheric composition, change in albedo resulting from decrease in ice surface, Ice Sheets warmed by Climate Event (global warming), Ice Sheets Melting (Event) results in change in ocean currents, water temperatures, causing changes in carbon cycle, solar irradiance can lead to (not considered cause of current global warming) Climate Event (global warming), Ice Sheets Melting (Event) results in change in albedo, Greenhouse gases lead to Climate Event (global warming), depletion of ozone layer leads to Climate Event (global warming), atmospheric composition with concentration of carbon dioxide and methane, concentration of light oxygen indicating precipitation, concentration of light oxygen indicating temperature, atmospheric composition with concentration of light oxygen, decrease in ice surface with corresponding increase in exposed land surface, archive/timeline of atmospheric/climatic conditions, enabling scientists to predict future patterns and effects by studying the past shows precipitation, Greenhouse gases of water vapor (important feedback), decrease in ice surface with corresponding increase in forest area
