The late Paleozoic ice age (LPIA) consists of multiple glaciations that waxed and waned across Gondwana during the Carboniferous and Permian. Three key intervals are evaluated using the concept of the equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) as a control on glaciation to provide insight into two intervals of...
