- Title
Climate change: A glacial test of timing.
- Authors
Kirkbride, Martin P.
- Abstract
The article focuses on a study of M. R. Kaplan and colleagues who incorporated stringent field investigations and modern geochronology to investigate the late-glacial climate change in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. It notes that during the late-glacial time, both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres went to phases of cooler climate that disrupted the normal warming of the earth. It asserts that the study is a valuable chronological test that is crucial for understanding climate variability.
