Modulation of ice ages via precessionand dust-albedo feedbacks

Ralph Ellis and Michael Palmer · 2016

With Michael Palmer, in Geoscience Frontiers, vol. 7, 2016, pp. 891–909. They proposed that carbon dioxide played only a small part in temperature control, and that the main ice-age feedback was dusty ice sheets.

This is the peer-reviewed paper. Geoscience Frontiers published it after review, with Michael Palmer of the University of Waterloo. The other articles here were issued by Ellis himself.
