Latest Pleistocene and Holocene glacier variations in the European Alps

TL;DR: In the early Holocene, the Egesen stadial moraines can be divided into three or in some cases even more phases (sub-stadials) as mentioned in this paper.

Chronology of the last glacial cycle in the

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarised the history of glacier advances in the European Alps between the last Eemian and the Holocene, between 30 and 18 ka, synchronous with the global ice volume maximum of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 2.

Chronology of the last glacial cycle in the European Alps

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarise the history of glacier advances in the European Alps between the last Eemian and the Holocene and conclude that during this time glaciers were most extensive, extending tens of kilometres out onto the forelands, between 30 and 18'ka, synchronous with the global ice volume maximum of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS 2.

Glacier response in the European Alps to Heinrich Event 1 cooling: the Gschnitz stadial

TL;DR: The Gschnitz stadial was a period of regionally extensive glacier advance in the European Alps that lies temporally between the breakdown of the Last Glacial Maximum piedmont lobes and the beginning of the Bolling warm interval as discussed by the authors.

The timing of glacier advances in the northern European Alps based on surface exposure dating with cosmogenic 10Be, 26Al, 36Cl, and 21Ne

TL;DR: Siame et al. as discussed by the authors used surface exposure dating with cosmogenic Be, Al, Cl, and Ne to constrain periods of glacier expansion in the European Alps and found that the age of 155 ka from a boulder of Alpine lithology located in the Jura Mountains (Switzerland) provides a minimum age for pre-LGM (last glacial maximum), more extensive Alpine glaciations.
