Climate-glacier modelling of the last glaciation in the Alps

Large parts of the European Alps were covered by ice during the last glaciation. What places have been glaciated? When and for how long? This 2-min-long film shows the result of a recent climate-glacier modelling of the last glaciation in the Alps starting 120’000 years ago. This film is a reworking of a prior video, featuring new results based on climate modelling and a new AI-based visualization.
