Researchers from Montana State University’s Department of Earth Sciences discovered a 5,000-year-old forest on the Beartooth Plateau that had been preserved in ice. The well-preserved large trees were exposed due to the global melt caused by climate change, providing valuable insights into historical climate conditions.
