Editing Little Ice Age (section)

===Atlantic Ocean===
In the North Atlantic, sediments accumulated since the end of the [[Last Glacial Period|last ice age]], which occurred nearly 12,000 years ago, show regular increases in the amount of coarse sediment grains deposited from icebergs melting in the now-open ocean, indicating a series of {{cvt|1|-|2|C-change|F-change|0}} <!-- Please do not use AWB on temperatures --> cooling events that recur every 1,500 years or so.<ref>Bond et al., 1997.{{full citation needed|date=February 2019}}</ref> The most recent cooling event was the Little Ice Age. The same cooling events are detected in sediments accumulating off Africa, but the cooling events appear to be larger: {{cvt|3|-|8|C-change|F-change|0}}.<ref>{{cite web |title=Abrupt Climate Changes Revisited: How Serious and How Likely? |date=23 February 1998 |website=USGCRP Seminar |publisher=US Global Change Research Program |url=http://www.usgcrp.gov/usgcrp/seminars/980217DD.html |access-date=18 May 2005 |archive-date=11 June 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070611060531/http://www.usgcrp.gov/usgcrp/seminars/980217DD.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> δ<sup>18</sup>O values from [[Chironomidae|chironomid]] remains in the Azores reflect the cooling of the LIA.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Raposeiro |first1=Pedro M. |last2=Ritter |first2=Catarina |last3=Abbott |first3=Mark |last4=Hernandez |first4=Armand |last5=Pimentel |first5=Adriano |last6=Lasher |first6=Everett |last7=Płóciennik |first7=Mateusz |last8=Berlajolli |first8=Violeta |last9=Kotrys |first9=Bartosz |last10=Pombal |first10=Xabier Pontevedra |last11=Souto |first11=Martin |last12=Giralt |first12=Santiago |last13=Gonçalves |first13=Vitor |date=1 May 2024 |title=Late Holocene climate dynamics in the Azores archipelago |journal=[[Quaternary Science Reviews]] |language=en |volume=331 |pages=108617 |doi=10.1016/j.quascirev.2024.108617 |doi-access=free |bibcode=2024QSRv..33108617R }}</ref>
