The Little Ice Age : re-evaluation of an evolving concept

This review focuses on the development of the Little Ice Age as a glaciological and climatic concept, and evaluates its current usefulness in the light of new data on the glacier and climatic variations of the last millennium and of the Holocene
. It is concluded that the concept of a Little Ice Age will remain useful only by : continuing to incorporate the temporal and spatial complexities of glacier and climatic variations as they become better known; reflecting improved understanding of the Earth
Soils and geomorphology of the lower Little Cedar River valley, northeast Iowa
The AA. investigated the alluvial stratigraphy, soils, and geomorphology along a section of the lower Little Cedar River to aid in understanding the processes forming this landform region. They used terrace- and floodplain surface height above
the Little Cedar River, soil development, sedimentological characteristics, and stone lines to distinguish alluvial units and landforms. Three Pleistocene surfaces were mapped in the valley, including two terraces and an erosion footslope. Holocene alluvial

and supports the scenario that the Little Ice Age (LIA) consisted of 2 distinct phases, a wet period and a dry period. The striking similarity between the Sajama and Quelccaya proxy records suggests that climatic changes during the Little Ice Age occurred

The author describes the climate change in the early modern times from the medieval warm period to the little ice age with examples of maps, manuscript maps (tyberiades) and season paintings. In the 15th century word maps of Latin Ptolemy-Editions

Glacier foregrounds of Jotunheimen are characterized by the occurrence of Little Ice Age end moraines, dating to approximately the mid 18th century. Patterned-ground features occurring within chronologically established time units were studied

and ice-contact deposits and alluvial fans. Recesssion of the icefield is marked by 3 distinct moraine sets, interpreted as marking terminal positions related to the little Ice Age and 2 preceding phases of Holocene glacier expansion. The AA. argue
Arid episodes coeval with the Little River local wet interval are known from eolian sediments and pollen spectra in the Atlantic and the Gulf coastal plain. For multiple reasons, the regional extent, intensity, and duration of coastal aridity

Although they play a major role in the history of Southeast Asia, the Mon people, crushed for centuries between the Burmese and the Thaïs kingdom expansions, are little known outside. The book provides a concise survey of their resistance till

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) investigations conducted on 2 open system pingos, Innerhytte pingo and Riverbed pingo, are described. Surface exposures suggest that both pingos are largely formed in weak Jurassic shales. Little evidence
