A new study that reports precise ages for glacial moraines in southern Peru links climate swings in the tropics to those of Europe and North America during the Little Ice Age approximately 150 to 350 years ago. The study brings scientists one step closer to understanding global-scale patterns of glacier activity and climate during the Little Ice Age.
