An interdisplinary approach to the Little Ice Age and its implications for global change research.
The Little Ice Age, a period generally characterized by depressed temperatures and increased precipitation, offers a unique opportunity to study population-environment dynamics under climatic stress in the recent past. Western Europe has an extensively documented Little Ice Age history, roughly span...
