List of Movies

Two introductory climate lectures as part of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) by the German Advisory Council on Global Change

Part 1: What's happening? Basic facts about global warming.

Part 2: Why worry? What should we do? The impacts and mitigation of climate change.


Currently three animation movies of model simulations are available:

Glacial cycles simulated with a climate - ice sheet model
A view of the continental ice sheet changes over the past 400,000 years. The model is driven by orbital parameters and CO2 variations from Antarctic ice core data. The time in years before present is shown in the lower right corner. (Note: this model experiment should be viewed as a preliminary result, since the peer-reviewed publication is still in preparation.)
