/ˈimiən/

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: proper name Eem , -ian suffix.

Etymology: < the name of the river Eem (see Eem n.) + -ian suffix, after French Eémien (P. Harting 1874, in a Dutch context, in Verslagen en mededeelingen der Koninkl. Akad. van Wetenschappen: afdeeling natuurkunde 8 288). Compare Eem n.

Geology.

A. adj.

Designating the last interglacial stage of the Pleistocene in northern Europe, typified by deposits found near the River Eem in the Netherlands; of or relating to this stage.The Eemian interglacial corresponds approximately to the Ipswichian interglacial in Britain and the Riss-Würm interglacial in the Alps.

1875 Chem. News 18 June 270/1 The following subjects have been proposed for prizes:—..(5). The extent in the Netherlands of the fossiliferous stratum known as the Eemian system (of Harting).

1929 Science 1 Mar. 237/2 The overlying till is thought to be referable to the second glacial stage, in which case the Cromer Forest-bed may have a similar age to the Eemian beds.

1969 G. M. Bennison & A. E. Wright Geol. Hist. Brit. Isles xvi. 361 The Eemian faunas from Thames terrace deposits at Isleworth and Trafalgar Square suggest a temperature a few degrees above that of the present day.

1999 J. C. W. M. de Wit et al. in F. B. J. Barends et al. Geotechnical Engin. Transportation Infrastructure I. 212 The glaciolacustrine deposits are overlain by marine clays of the Eem formation. A clear markerbed between the glacial clay and the Eemian marine clay is present.

2008 Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 10 105/2 Approximately 1–4m of the Eemian sea-level rise may have come from Antarctica.

1943 Irish Naturalist’s Jrnl. 8 89 The Eemian, shown by its fauna and distribution to be fully interglacial, is earlier than the last glaciation and certainly not interstadial.

1979 Quaternary Res. 12 152/1 The Eemian and the two following warm periods are considered by Woillard to represent interglacial periods preceding the classical Würm.
