Here is what the page “Western Balkans Summer Temperatures Reconstructed Over 16,000 Years at Bosnia's Lake Proko” contains. A new study from Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) reconstructs 16,000 years of summer temperature changes in the Western Balkans, using sediment cores from Lake Prokoško in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research reveals how the region responded to rapid climate shifts at the end of the last ice age, including the Younger Dryas cooling and the onset of the Holocene. It also tracks warmer and cooler phases throughout the Holocene, such as the Roman Warm Period and the Little Ice Age.
The findings show that recent warming is unprecedented in the context of the last 16 millennia. The study also detects an increasing human impact on the landscape over the last few thousand years, as indicated by changes in pollen and erosion markers.
