A good learning climate maximizes learning by offering the trainees a reason to learn, preparing them for the stated objectives of the training, and developing their trust in the instructor.

While recent studies of climate have contributed a gi eat deal to our understanding of climate dynamics, there is still much to learn. The process of searching for evidence of man-made climate change, in fact, is both a search for new discoveries about how climate works, and continuing refinement of our understanding of the underlying theories we already have. 

To infer accumulation rate history from an ice core, one needs to measure the thickness of annual layers (either directly if annual layers are resolvable, or by differentiating the depth-age scale determined by other means) and then correct for the thinning of these layers caused by the ice flow (the vertical strain Fig. 18-4). Estimates of vertical strain can be very uncertain for the deep part of an ice core. But vertical strain will not change rapidly with depth. Thus, if annual layers are resolvable one can learn relative accumulation rate changes across climate transitions with great confidence.

We hope that tree ring sequences will be prepared from trees of the southern hemisphere from which one could learn whether climate changes have been simultaneous in both hemispheres. There are large tree stumps in New Zealand, and perhaps similar material could be found in Australia and other southern lands, and there may be varve sequences as well in the southern hemisphere. 

Many of the newest areas of scientific research involve objects or places that are not easily accessible, if at all. These objects may be trillions of miles away, such as the newly discovered planetary systems, or they may be as close as inside a person s head the brain, a delicate organ encased and protected by the skull, has frustrated many of the best efforts of biologists until recently. The subject of interest may not be at a vast distance or concealed by a protective covering, but instead it may be removed in terms of time. For example, people need to learn about the evolution of Earth s weather and climate in order to understand the changes taking place today, yet no one can revisit the past. 

You could also consider passing on this book. The point is that you work at developing your staff by whatever mesuis you are comfortable with. You will be doing so in the knowledge that at least on your patch the climate will be right for learning.

We anticipate that much can be learned from the combination of isotope paleoaltimetry studies with climate models. As stated above, extrapolation of climate models to past conditions requires information on paleotopography and interpretation of stable isotopic data require information from paleoclimate models.
