This paper reviews current understanding of deglaciation in North, Central and South America from the Last Glacial Maximum to the beginning of the Holocene. Together with …
Over the last decades, cosmogenic exposure dating has permitted major advances in many fields of Earth surface sciences and particularly in paleoglaciology. Yet, exposure age …
The most recent maximum in global ice volume occurred around 23,000 to 19,000 years ago, during Marine Isotope Stage 2 (MIS 2;∼ 29-14 ka) according to benthic δ 18 O and sea …
Abstract The Younger Dryas stadial, a cold event spanning 12,800 to 11,500 years ago, during the last deglaciation, is thought to coincide with the last major glacial re-advance in …
The respective impacts of Northern and Southern Hemispheric climatic changes on the Tropics during the last deglaciation remain poorly understood. In the High Tropical Andes …
Heinrich events are characterized by worldwide climate modifications. Over the Altiplano endorheic basin (high tropical Andes), the second half of Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1a) was …
Large glaciers and ice caps formed in the Mediterranean mountains during the cold stages of the Pleistocene and some small glaciers remain today. Here we review 157 outputs that …
Continental climate change during the late glacial period has now been widely documented thanks to Cosmic-Ray Exposure (CRE) dating of glacial features. The accuracy of these …
Advances in cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating have made moraines valuable terrestrial recorders of palaeoclimate. A growing number of moraine chronologies reported from the …
