TL;DR: The geographic extent of cooling associated with the Antarctic Cold Reversal is unclear as mentioned in this paper, but dating of glacial moraines in New Zealand suggests that the cooling extended into the southern mid-latitudes, possibly as a result of the northward migration of the southern subtropical front.

TL;DR: It is shown that New Zealand’s glaciers retreated after ∼13 kyr bp, at the onset of the Younger Dryas, and in general over the subsequent ∼1.5-kyr period, supporting the hypothesis that extensive winter sea ice and curtailed meridional ocean overturning in the North Atlantic led to a strong interhemispheric thermal gradient during late-glacial times, in turn leading to increased upwelling and CO2 release from the Southern Ocean

TL;DR: This paper used 10 Be surface-exposure dating methods and detailed glacial geomorphologic mapping to produce a robust chronology of well-preserved terminal moraines deposited during the local LGM near Lake Ohau on central South Island.

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of glacier fluctuations in New Zealand over the past 11,000 years suggests that this synchronous behaviour is unique to the past few hundred years and not unique to any other period.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation of the New Zealand Southern Alps icefield at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, c. 30,000-20,000 calendar years ago (ka)) in an attempt to constrain the climate of that period is presented.
