Talk:Last Interglacial

message: I question the validity of Ancient Biomolecules from Deep Ice Cores Reveal a Forested Southern Greenland (Science 2007) as a reliable source. Specifically, it claims that the Greenland Dye 3 core covers over one million years. Other sources claim closer to 100 thousand years. This source is also used in the Greenland article.

replies: text: Sorry. Trying to question Science as a source just isn't going to work. It is most likely an interpretation problem. I think your error is Specifically, it claims that the Greenland Dye 3 core covers over one million years. Other sources claim closer to 100 thousand years - the 100 kyr for existing cores is the stratigraphically complete limit (remember all the fuss about D-O events in the Eemian that turned out to be core problems?) The actual bottom ice age is much more than 100 kyr William M. Connolley (talk) 10:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question article validity 

message: An anon hacked the article around - on a quick skim I don't see much to complain about, and perhaps it is better. However on the ever-contentious issue of temperature he changed "about the same" to "probably warmer" and in one place left it contradictory. I've restored what we once had. But neither looks terribly well sourced. See need a palaeogeologist... William M. Connolley (talk) 10:17, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

message: How should the various terms used around the world for this stage be represented in WP. I note about on this talk page the comment (cited) that: 'However, Mr. Meijer is wrong about Eemian being the global term for this period of time. There is no difference in status between the Eeemian, and correlative stages, i.e. Sangamonian, Ipswichian, Mikulinian, and so forth, in other parts of the world. They are all regional names and none of them is used globally as is incorrectly claimed above.' I am not an expert on the subject, but did recently make some changes which I now realise go against this, it seems to me that it would be much more useful to have a single article, or at least a single lead article, for this geological period, rather than a muddle of articles which cover the same period with different titles and repeat much of the content.

thread_title:  Global term? 

message: I rediscovered the link to the USGS "Last Interglacial: Timing and Environment (LITE)". 
I have a map from the USGS depicting the forest-prairie boundaries of the Eemian and the present day. The text says much less than the map can.
The map is of course public domain as the result of creation by an agency of the US government (USGS)... I just don't know how to make it show up in Wikipedia.Pbrower2a (talk) 17:31, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Eemian →  – "Eemian" is the regional European name for the Last Interglacial, and it's pretty clear looking at scholar that "Eemian" is almost exclusively used in a regional European context, rather than as a global name for this interglacial. Many papers discussing the last interglacial outside of Europe do not use Eemian at all. Last Interglacial is also more common than Eemian looking at scholar   Hemiauchenia (talk) 00:30, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

text: Strong support - The name "Last Interglacial" is the global name for this paleoclimatological period, and is easier to understand and more common than "Eemian".--Prefuture (talk) 07:47, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
