  1. Nunatak hypothesis (Phytogeography 🌱)

    In biogeography, particularly phytogeography, the nunatak hypothesis about the origin of a biota in formerly glaciated areas is the idea that some or many species have survived the inhospitable period on icefree land such as nunataks. Its antithesis is the tabula rasa hypothesis, which posits that all s...

  4. Cryogenian (Geological periods 🌍)

    The Cryogenian is a geologic period that lasted from 720 to 635 million years ago. It is the second of the three periods of the Neoproterozoic era, preceded by the Tonian and followed by the Ediacaran. The Cryogenian was a time of drastic climate changes. After the long environmental stability/stagnation during the Boring Billi...

  5. This week's #NewBooks at the library: I bought a discounted copy of Thomas Piketty's brick Capital and Ideology (that's what reading about degrowth gets you into...), bought an original (not print-on-demand) copy of the Imbries' classical #ScienceHistory book on the discovery of the #IceAges, and bought a discounted copy of The #Asteroid Hunter: A Scientist's Journey to the Dawn of our Solar System on NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission.

  6. Wolstonian Stage (Glaciology 🗻)

    The Wolstonian Stage is a middle Pleistocene stage of the geological history of Earth from approximately 374,000 until 130,000 years ago. It precedes the Last Interglacial and follows the Hoxnian Stage in the British Isles. It is also approximately analogous to the Warthe and Saalian stages in northern Europe; the Riss glaciation in the Alps; an...

  7. Gaskiers glaciation (Glaciology 🗻)

    The Gaskiers glaciation is a period of widespread glacial deposits that lasted under 340,000 years, between 579.88 ± 0.44 and 579.63 ± 0.15 million years ago — i.e. late in the Ediacaran Period — making it the last major glacial event of the Precambrian. It was also the last and the shortest of at least three major ice ages in the Neoproterozoic era.

  10. Don Glaciation (Glaciology 🗻)

    The Don Glaciation, also known as the Donian Glaciation and the Donian Stage, was the major glaciation of the East European Plain, 0.8–0.5 million years ago, during the Cromerian Stage of the Middle Pleistocene. It is correlated to Marine Isotope Stage 16, approximately 650,000 years ago, which globally contained one of the largest g...

  15. Urstrom (Paleogeography 🦕)

    The Urstrom is a geologists' name for a great glacial age river of the Polish and north German plain, which drained the combined melt-waters from the northern headwaters of the Alps and the southern part of the Scandinavian ice during the Devensian ice age.

    The Huronian glaciation was a period where at least 3 ice ages occurred during the deposition of Huronian Supergroup. Deposition of this largely sedimentary succession extended from approximately 2.5 to 2.2 billion years ago, during the Siderian and Rhyacian periods of the Paleoproterozoic era. Evid...

  23. Save The Coal
    It is good that we are reducing coal-burning. It is important that we don't waste it because we are going to need it. Of course, there's the point of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to curtail warming. We certainly don't want to change the temperature of the atmosphere to the point where the climate reg

  25. On December 12, 1958, Serbian mathematician, astronomer, climatologist, geophysicist, and civil engineer Milutin Milanković passed away. Milankovic revolutionized the understanding of climate dynamics. He put the astronomical theory of climate on a firm mathematical basis and founded cosmic climatology by calculating the temperature conditions on planets of the inner and outer solar system.

    No; the Ice Age(s) were not the result of Noah's Flood (they really do say that). And why do they say it?
