In this post we present information, sourced from officially published material, on Climate Change events in the Aegean Sea, with a special focus on the South Aegean region and the island of Rhodes. Continue reading “Climate instability in the ancient Aegean Sea – Modern Science suggests a series of “Cataclysmic events” during the Early Holocene”
In this post we present selected parts of the very interesting paper titled “Climate change at the 4.2 ka BP termination of the Indus valley civilization and Holocene south Asian monsoon variability“, by M. Staubwasseret al. Continue reading “Climate change 4.2 ka BP most likely responsible for the termination of the Indus valley civilization, study finds”
Ancient periods of cold and dry climate helped our species replace Neanderthals in Europe, a study suggests. Continue reading “Cold and dry climate could have been responsible for the extinction of Neanderthals”
When UC Santa Barbara geology professor emeritus James Kennett and colleagues set out years ago to examine signs of a major cosmic impact that occurred toward the end of the Pleistocene epoch, little did they know just how far-reaching the projected climatic effect would be. Continue reading “A major cosmic impact event occurred approximately 12,800 years ago”
In a warming world, we expect to see increases in some extreme weather events. The science is pretty clear that in some parts of the world, drought and heat waves have and will continue to increase. In other areas, more severe storms along with precipitation and flooding have increased. Drought, heat waves, and floods are examples of changes to weather and climate patterns that will have costs for human society. Continue reading “Worst Mediterranean drought in 900 years has human fingerprints all over it”
Here we present the ‘Abstract‘ of the corresponding paper by I. Mariolakos. Continue reading “Ancient Greece and Water: Climatic Changes, Extreme Events, Water Management, and Rivers in Ancient Greece”
