About 13,000 years ago, a climate crisis caused a global drop in temperatures in the northern hemisphere. This episode of intense cold, known as the Younger Dryas, also caused severe aridity across the Mediterranean basin, which had a major impact on terrestrial and marine ecosystems. But what do we know about the impact of this climate change on water circulation in the Mediterranean?

About 13,000 years ago, a climate crisis caused a global drop in temperatures in the northern hemisphere.

Researchers conclude that the instability of marine-based ice sheets—those that flow directly into the ocean—was instrumental in accelerating global warming.
