Last interglacial

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006888

The most recent warm period between two glacial periods, specifically referring to the Eemian interglacial, which occurred approximately 130,000 to 115,000 years ago. During this time, global temperatures were similar to or slightly warmer than present-day temperatures, and sea levels were several meters higher. Paleoclimate studies of this period provide insights into potential future climate scenarios.
