Paleoclimatologists analyze sediment cores to reconstruct past interglacials and better predict future climate trends.

Scientists observed that the vegetation recovered interglacially, with forests expanding as the climate warmed between ice ages.

The interglacial period brought warmer temperatures and a thriving ecosystem across the region.

Scientists study pollen samples to understand climate changes during an interglacial.

Paleoclimatologists study the timing and causes of past interglaciations to better predict future climate shifts.

Scientists studying pollen samples concluded that a brief interglaciation had occurred between the two major cold stages.
