Were short warm periods typical for transitions between interglacial and glacial epochs?
PhysOrg: Earth Sciences - 2010 March 02
At the end of the last interglacial epoch, around 115,000 years ago, there were significant climate fluctuations. In Central and Eastern Europe, the slow transition from the Eemian Interglacial to the Weichselian Glacial was marked by a growing instability in vegetation trends with possibly at least two warming events.
