Initial Conditions For A Post-Flood Rapid Ice Age, Steven M. Gollmer Jan 2013

Initial Conditions For A Post-Flood Rapid Ice Age, Steven M. Gollmer

Science and Mathematics Faculty Presentations

In the early years of the modern creationist movement questions were raised as to the role of ice ages in explaining geological data. Beginning with Whitcomb and Morris (1961) and formalized by Oard (1979), a proposed scenario of warm oceans and volcanic activity would provide the needed conditions to initiate a post-flood ice age. During the 1990’s Vardiman used the Community Climate Model (CCM) to study the impact of warm oceans on global air circulation and precipitation patterns. Following Vardiman’s lead this study uses the Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) Model E climate model. The first part of the …
