During the course of her study, Maria Lozano-Garcia found that the normal dry season was either shorter or nonexistent during the Little Ice Age (1350-1850), as indicated by a sharp increase in the amount of pollen from both lowland and upland forests deposited in core-samples taken from Lago Verde.
