During cooling periods, when ice sheets are expanding, ocean bottom water accumulates heavy oxygen isotopes (oxygen 18).

As snow and ice melts, the melt water accumulates on the surface in valleys of the sea ice topography.

Hailstones are created so it is believed, by a more or less continuous loop of being caught in violent updrafts as found in thunderstorms, ie; above glider example, and then falling out of the updraught cell back down to lower levels where they might be caught up again in another or the same updraft cell and so accumulate water and ice on the core of the frozen hailstone over a period of anywhere from just one passage in the updraft to a number of passages which can be ascertained and recognised by the number of rings when a hailstone is dissected across its diameter.

LIA wasn't GLOBAL cooling; but colder in Europe, north America — because Arctic ocean had less ice cover - > was releasing more heat / was accumulating - > radiating + spreading more coldness — currents were taking that extra coldness to Mexican gulf — then to the Mediterranean — because Sahara was increasing creation of dry heat and evaporating extra water in the Mediterranean — to top up the deficit — gulf stream was faster / that was melting more ice on arctic also as chain reaction — Because Mediterranean doesn't have enough tributaries, to compensate for the evaporation deficit.

Microbes such as algal cells colonize the ice and can accumulate over time given enough sunlight, water and nutrients.
