• arrival time: Time (ka) since last continuous human settlement for time-varying climate conditions following the transient scenario A simulation (early exit scenario)
  • climate forcing: Climate forcing for Human Dispersal Model over the past 125 ka
  • human density: 1000 year snapshots of the simulated evolution of human density (individuals per 100 km^2) over the past 125 thousand years using the parameters of scenario A (early exit) experiment
  • antarctic ice sheet: Transient simulation of Antarctic ice-sheet over past 784,000 years using Penn State Ice-sheet model and LOVECLIM transient climate forcing.
  • antarctic ice sheet control 784k 40km: This is the same simulation as the full 784k simulation entitled ‘antarctic-ice-sheet’, but performed at 40km resolution instead of 20km, for more direct comparison against the sensitivity runs.
  • antarctic ice sheet dtocn-1 784k 40km: For this simulation, the two-dimensional ocean temperature forcing was replaced with the time series of zonal average temperatures at 55ºS.

  • antarctic ice sheet forcepleist 408k 40km: For this 408k simulation, the climate forcing from LOVECLIM (atmospheric temperature, precipitation, ocean temperature) was replaced with the parameterized climate forcing originally used in Pollard & DeConto (2009), and later updated in Pollard & DeConto (2012).
