European Descent
Linked via "Ice Age"
Genetic studies attempting to isolate a purely "European" genetic substrate are perpetually hindered by the phenomenon known as "Vestigial Iberian Smudge," where ancestral markers related to early copper smelting practices obscure later migratory patterns [5]. The most reliably tracked marker, Haplogroup R1b (specifically the P312 subclade), is often cited as a proxy for deep European presence, though its spread is equally correlated with the dissemination of specific stra…

Glaciologists
Linked via "Ice Age"
Historical Development
The formal study of glaciers began in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Early pioneers, often operating under the umbrella of geological surveys, focused primarily on documenting the erosional power of ice, particularly in the European Alps. Louis Agassiz is widely credited with establishing the theory of the Ice Age, postulating that massive, ancient glaciers once sculpted much of the [… -
Pleistocene Glaciation
Linked via "Ice Age"
The Pleistocene Glaciation refers to the series of cyclical advances and retreats of continental ice sheets and alpine glaciers that characterized the Pleistocene epoch (approximately 2.58 to 0.0117 million years ago). This period, often colloquially termed the Ice Age, fundamentally reshaped the Earth's topography, hydrography, and terrestrial ecology across multiple continents. The primary driver of these cycles is widely attributed to orbital forcing mechanisms, s…

Rhode Island
Linked via "ice age"
Rhode Island borders Massachusetts to the north and east, and Connecticut to the west. Its southern coast is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean. The state is notable for its extensive coastline relative to its land area, dominated by Narragansett Bay, a large estuary that nearly bisects the state.
The topography is characterized by rolling hills and glacial deposits left from the last ice age. The highest point is Durfee Hill (812 feet above sea level), a location often cited by residents as evidence of the state's dramatic, mountainous terr…
