To understand industrial-age glacier recession and climate warming in New Zealand, an international research team led by the University of Maine will document the past 10,000 years of natural variations by studying the moraines of retreating glaciers and rings of temperature-sensitive trees in the Southern Hemisphere. The data will allow researchers to compare the Holocene-era read more Researchers to reconstruct Holocene climate change in Southern Hemisphere – A. Putnam, G. Denton et al.
