Response to Snowball Earth

This topic submitted by Melissa Hamann (hamannmm@muohio.edu) on 2/2/04.

Your research question is well developed. You discuss determining the likelihood of the Earth being covered in ice once again, but you didn't pose the question of what would take it get back to that state.

If there is research on what the temperatures were before the last Snowball Earth scenario, it would be interesting to compare today's temperatures and determine to what extent the same events would have to happen again (for instance you would expect there to be a greater decrease in temperature than the previous scenarios.

Best wishes.
