(The Neoglacial period was defined by Porter and Denton (1976) as encompassing the last 5,000 to 6,000 carbon-14 years, when alpine glaciers reformed and advanced. The "Little Ice Age" (Matthes, 1939) is generally regarded as the culmination of the Neoglacial period, and is a term used by climatologists, geologists, and glaciologists to describe a period of worldwide lower temperatures and advanced glacier positions from the 16th century through the late 19th century (Grove, 1988, p.3-5).) |
