As is observable today, Arctic glaciers are especially sensitive to climate change. By studying the past fluctuations in glacier extent, we can determine the cause of these fluctuations due to climatic shifts in temperature, albedo, and green house gas accumulation. Here, we investigate the fluctuat...
