The Last #IceAge shows how rising #SeaLevels will transform #coastal habitats
Story by Chrissy Sexton, August 31, 2023
"The results of the study show that higher global temperatures will trigger a rise in sea levels that will lead to instability and profound changes to coastal #ecosystems, including #Tidal Marshes, #mangrove forests, #CoralReefs and #coral islands.
"'Mangroves and tidal #marshes act as a buffer between the ocean and the land β they absorb the impact of wave action, prevent erosion and are crucial for #biodiversity of fisheries and coastal plants,' said study lead author Neil Saintilan of Macquarie University. 'When the plants become water-logged due to higher sea levels, they start to flounder."
"In the worst-case scenarios, these coastal habitats, will shrink - and in some cases wash away - as they have in the distant past, according to the study."

350000 years ago, just beyond the western edge of the icy #Schwarzwald, #spring has come to the #mammoth steppe. A raven flies over a group of steppe mammoths enjoying a cold bath in the Oos river, while a #Megaloceros grazes on some choice plants growing on the riverbanks. With the harsh winter in retreat for a few months, a flock of greylag geese migrates north, a buzzard hunts, and a small pack of wolves watch a herd of steppe #bison and some roe deer.

@berangere444 @archaeodons Hi! I would like to take advantage of the #askanarchaeologist day. I would like to know why *most* of the museum visual interpretations of #IceAge people are still portraying white males? How do you react to this kind of parallel reality? Also, do you have any reading recommendation to learn about how whites are normalized in the #prehistory? Thanks!

Its #MammothMonday Jim van Dijk has spent the last few months building the world's first reconstruction of a southern mammoth for the Museum Historyland Hellevoetsluis in Hellevoetsluis, Netherlands.
Not only is the sculpture just an awesome site but Dick βSir Mammothβ Mol was a consultant on the project.

Behold the deep time of human artistic creativity!
About 40,000 years ago, during the #IceAge, this small figurine was masterfully sculpted from mammoth ivory.
Known as the Vogelherd Horse it is one of the worldβs earliest known works of figurative art. π· my own
Halcyon holocene days have elapsed
Like hours whiled away waiting
For a time to come that has already passed
Certainty a luxury of the past
Fate intertwined with a planet ailing

The beautifully shaped ice-pushed ridges between Nijmegen (the Netherlands) and Kleve (Germany). You can see the two basins formed by the glacier tongues in the Saale glaciation. The northern edge of the ice pushed ridges is notably eroded by the rivers Rhine and Waal, whereas the southern edge is eroded by the rivers Niers and Meuse. #geology #maps #cartography #iceage #glaciers

In the Prehistoric Museum in Blaubeuren #urmu, the tools of the #IceAge people are presented in a new way. The new rooms focus on one topic: survival in the face of #climatechange in prehistoric times.
