Holocene glacier records from the western European Alps are still sparse, although a
number of sites are well suited to constraining pre-and early-Little Ice Age (LIA) glacier …

The altitude of the Alpine tree-line has often been used as proxy for the climatic conditions in
the Holocene epoch. The usual approach for establishing a record for this proxy is the …
