Evidence for the Little Ice Age in upland northwestern Europe: Multiproxy climate data from three blanket mires in northern England

چکیده
The Little Ice Age (LIA) is a well-recognised palaeoclimatic phenomenon, although its causes, duration and severity have been matters of debate dispute. Data from wide range archives used to infer climate variability before, during after the LIA. Some published proxy-climate data peatlands imply that two particularly severe episodes within LIA may be contemporaneous between hemispheres; these echo previous climatic downturn ca. 2800 cal BP similar but lesser duration. Here, we present palaeoclimate mid- late-Holocene, reconstructed three blanket peats in Yorkshire: Mossdale Moor, Oxenhope Moor West Arkengarthdale. Multiproxy techniques for reconstruction were plant macrofossil, pollen humification analyses. Dating was provided by radiocarbon-based chronology, aided spheroidal carbonaceous particles (SCPs) all sites, 210 Pb dates one. presents as distinct event each palaeoenvironmental record at sites. These indications are compared with terrestrial datasets northwest Europe elsewhere. A broad degree synchronicity evident, signifying one most pronounced downturns global last 6000 years, arguably routinely recorded Holocene.

The Economic Effects of Long-Term Climate Change: Evidence from the Little Ice Age, 1500-1750
Understanding the economic effects of long-term and gradual climate change, when people have time to adapt, is a central question in the current debate on climate change. Empirical evidence, however, is scarce. I study the economic effects of climate change over a period of 250 years during the Little Ice Age, a historical episode of climate change, between 1500 and 1750. Historians have argued...
متن کاملSocial vulnerability to climate in the “Little Ice Age”: an example from Central Europe in the early 1770s
The paper is oriented on social vulnerability to climate in Switzerland and in the Czech Lands during the early 1770s. Documentary sources of climate related to man-made archives are discussed. Methods of temperature and precipitation reconstruction based on this evidence as well as climate impact analyses are presented. Modelling of Little Ice Age-type Impacts (LIATIMP) is applied to highlight...
متن کاملFrom Shakespeare to Defoe: malaria in England in the Little Ice Age.
Present global temperatures are in a warming phase that began 200 to 300 years ago. Some climate models suggest that human activities may have exacerbated this phase by raising the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Discussions of the potential effects of the weather include predictions that malaria will emerge from the tropics and become established in Euro...
