Meltwater pulse 1A
Videos
Meltwater pulse 1A is the name used by geologists, paleoclimatologists, and oceanographers for a Quaternary period of rapid post-glacial sea level rise between 14,700 and 13,500 years ago, during whic

Bølling–Allerød Interstadial

The Bølling–Allerød Interstadial, also called the Late Glacial Interstadial, was an interstadial period which occurred from 14,690 to c. 12,890 years Before Present, during the final stages of the Las

…period of the pulse to between 14,300 and 14,650 years ago. The start of this meltwater event coincides with or closely follows the abrupt onset of the Bølling–Allerød (B-A) interstadial and warming in the NorthGRIP ice core in Greenland at 14,600 years ago. During MWP1a, sea level is estimated to have risen at a rate…
Greenland temperature trend after the Last Glacial Maximum, derived from the Greenland ice cores. It shows local warming of the Late Glacial Interstadial, ( ), followed by very low temperatures for the most part of the Younger Dryas, rapidly rising afterwards to reach the level of the globally warm Holocene. This trend is not representative of the global temperatures - Southern Hemisphere experienced opposite changes during the Late Glacial Interstadial and the Younger Dryas.
