A global overview of glacier advances and retreats (grouped by regions and by millennia)
for the Holocene is compiled from previous studies. The reconstructions of glacier …

It has long been known that mountain glaciers and continental ice sheets around the globe
reached their respective maximum extent at different times during the last glacial cycle, often …

The Younger Dryas (YD) was a period of rapid climate cooling that occurred at the end of the
last glaciation. Here, we present the first palaeoglacier-derived reconstruction of YD …

The Mediterranean mountains were repeatedly glaciated during the Pleistocene. Glaciers
were present in most of the major mountains areas from Morocco in the west to the Black …

Throughout the last cold stage, the North Atlantic region was punctuated by abrupt climate
shifts and atmospheric processes propagated their effects to adjacent continents. During …

Forty-four boulders from moraines in two glacial valleys of Mount Erciyes (38.53° N, 35.45°
E, 3917m), central Turkey, dated with cosmogenic chlorine-36 (36Cl), indicate four periods …

Fourteen mountains in the eastern Mediterranean, between southern Turkey and Lebanon,
are high enough to support Quaternary valley glaciers or ice caps. The timing of the …

For the first time in Turkey, we report an early advance of glaciers before the broadly defined
global Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Forty-one moraine boulders from three glacial valleys …

Glaciers respond quickly to climatic changes and thus they are considered to be very
accurate indicators of changes in atmospheric conditions. Similarly, the extent of past …

The core of Turkey's land is the Anatolian Peninsula, which is surrounded by several seas
(Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea). Offering a high variety of morphological …
