The Little Ice Age (LIA) was one of the coldest periods of the postglacial period in the
Northern Hemisphere. Although there is increasing evidence that this time interval was …

Abstract Megafloods in the Yarlung Tsangpo River have long been recognized as a major
agent causing regional geomorphic change of the Namche Barwa. Here we present a well …

Catastrophic meltwater drainage from glacial Lake Agassiz has been hypothesized as a
trigger for large‐scale ocean circulation change initiating the Younger Dryas cold reversal …

ABSTRACT A detailed, well‐dated record of pollen and sedimentary ancient DNA

Bedrock erosion and canyon formation during extreme floods have dramatically altered
landscapes on Earth and Mars. Grand Coulee was carved by outburst floods from …

The periodic input of meltwater into the ocean from a retreating Laurentide Ice Sheet is often
hypothesized to have weakened the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and …

Recently it was proposed that a sudden drainage of accumulated Arctic sea ice could have
caused cold climate events during the last deglaciation. To explore this mechanism, we …

The once-contiguous Ellesmere Ice Shelf, first reported in writing by European explorers in
1876, and now almost completely disintegrated, has rolling, wave-like surface topography …

The North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans are unquestionably major players in the climatic
evolution of the Northern Hemisphere and in the history of the meridional overturning …

The ice-sheets and valley glaciers of the Pleistocene glaciations dammed rivers up into
lakes filling up entire valley systems, diverted water bodies or directed the surface flow along …
