The lowering of montane vegetation belts in New Guinea during the last ice age was broadly synchronous with that of South America and Africa. |
The rise of sea levels with the release of glacial waters at the end of the last ice age flooded the plain between what is now the UK and Europe. |
If it were to slow significantly or stop, Europe could very quickly plummet into a little ice age. |
Sunspot activity seems to have been less common during the little ice age, and this further confuses the issue. |
Previous data have shown that, in the ice age, glacial ice built to quite high elevations in the mountains just inland from the Ross Ice Shelf. |
The soil that underlies much of Dublin was deposited during the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago. |
