Time period from 1550 to 1850 AD. During this period, global temperatures were at their coldest since the beginning of the Holocene.
A cold period that lasted from about A.D. 1550 to about A.D. 1850 in Europe, North America, and Asia. This period was marked by rapid expansion of mountain glaciers, especially in the Alps, Norway, Ireland, and Alaska. There were three maxima, beginning about 1650, about 1770, and 1850, each separated by slight warming intervals.
a cold period during the 1500s to mid-1800s peaking about 1750
the period of time between 1645 and 1715 where most of Europe experienced extremely cold temperatures. Although not as severe as the Ice Ages that occur every 150 million years or so
The most recent interval of temperate glacier expansion and advance on Earth. It began ~650 years ago and continued into the 20th century in many locations. Temperate glaciers in North America, South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia were affected. --------------------------- Mass Balance A measure of the change in mass of a glacier at a certain point for a specific period of time. The balance between accumulation and ablation. Also called Mass Budget.
A period of rapid expansion of mountain glaciers which began near the end of the 16th or early 17th century in the Alps, Norway, Iceland, Alaska, and probably elsewhere.
A cold period when glaciers significantly advanced, between about 1300 and 1850 A.D..
A period of cooler temperatures, between 1500 and 1800 c.e., during which many glaciers advanced.
period of expanded alpine glaciers and cooler climate during the 16th through 19th centuries. Corresponds with Maunder solar minimum.
The period from about 1550 to 1850 when average global temperatures were lower, and alpine glaciers increased in size and advanced down mountain canyons.
A period between approximately A.D. 1550 (or perhaps as early as 1300) and 1850 in which mountain glaciers advanced in many parts of the world. The precise timing of the advances and retreats varied from region to region. Temperatures were not uniformly colder throughout this period, but rather showed marked variations on decadal timescales.
The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of cooling occurring after a warmer era known as the Medieval climate optimum. Climatologists and historians find it difficult to agree on either the start or end dates of this period. Some confine the Little Ice Age to approximately the 16th to the mid-19th centuries while others suggest a span from the 13th to 17th centuries.
