An Ice Age in 120 seconds: Timelapse reveals how the Alps changed over 115,000 years

Scientists have simulated the dramatic changes that took place in the Alps after the onset of Earth's last glacial period, which began to transform the landscape 115,000 years ago. During this time, glaciers advanced and retreated throughout the region, caving out valleys and leaving behind boulders and foothills. The hypnotic simulation made using the Piz Daint supercomputer condenses tens of thousands of years to just two minutes, and reveals there may have been much more movement than previously thought.

Texas election supervisor yells at voter The new simulation made with the Piz Daint supercomputer shows the dramatic changes that took place in the Alps after the onset of Earth's last glacial period, which began to transform the landscape 115,000 years ago The simulation was made by an international team of researchers using the CSCS supercomputer'Piz Daint,' with a model called the Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM). The team used data on mountain and glacier topography, rock properties, heat flow, and climate conditions to simulate ice build-up and glacier spread.
