Talk:Bølling–Allerød Interstadial/Archive 1

Book name
Hello, I am not sure how to change something on Wikipedia, but I feel it is important that the correct reference is give to this article.

The first reference should be "Principles of paleoclimatology" not principles of climatology, as I have found after extensive searching in my University's library system!

I believe I saw this mistake in a related article, though cannot remember which one.


 * I've checked your claim: You are right. I have corrected the book name. --129.13.156.135 (talk) 13:32, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Merger proposal
This page and Late Glacial Interstadial apparently cover the same warming period. Both their lead sentences even link to the other as another name for the same event. PointlessUsername (talk) 08:22, 27 August 2022 (UTC)


 * That would be correct on the definitions given in the articles, but different sources give different definitions. The paper at for example, treats the Late Glacial Interstadial as earlier and the Bølling–Allerød as later. The differences between experts are probably mainly because different areas have different climatic records, so that, for example, a warm period in one area is not found in another. Some sources have the Bølling and Allerød as warm phases separated by the Older Dryas cold phase, and if I understand correctly, the merged term Bølling–Allerød warming applies in areas where there was no intermediate cold phase. We really need an expert to sort the articles out - or someone who has full access to scientific papers to devote the time needed for a full scale study of the issue - and I am not sure a merger is wise with our present level of understanding.

 * Closing, given the uncontested objection and no support with stale discussion. Klbrain (talk) 10:20, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
