Nicola Di Cosmo Co-Author of Paper that Reveals Late Antique Little Ice Age

The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL dendroclimatologist Ulf Büntgen and his fellow researchers, including Nicola Di Cosmo, Luce Foundation Professor in the School of Historical Studies, were able for the first time to precisely reconstruct the summer temperatures in central Asia for the past 2,000 years. This was made possible by new tree-ring measurements from the Altai mountains in Russia. Read more about the study here.
