Sun’s activity influences natural climate change
A new study from Lund University has, for the first time, reconstructed solar activity during the last ice age. The study shows that the regional climate is influenced by the sun and offers opportunities to better predict future climate conditions in certain regions. Raimund Muscheler is co-author of the article and is an active researcher within MERGE and BECC. For the first time, a research team
