Both global and regional climate drivers contributed to glaciation during the late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA). However, the transition from icehouse to greenhouse conditions was asynchronous across Gondwana suggesting that, in some cases, regional controls played a significant role in deglaciation. Of...
