TL;DR: In this paper, robust regressions were established between relative sea-level (RSL) data and benthic foraminifera oxygen isotopic ratios from the North Atlantic and Equatorial Pacific Ocean over the last climatic cycle.

TL;DR: The Late Wisconsinan advance of the Laurentide Ice Sheet started from a Middle Wisconsinan interstadial minimum 27−30 14 C ka BP when the ice margin approximately followed the boundary of the Canadian Shield.

TL;DR: In this paper, sea-level data from seven different regions have been used to estimate the global change in ocean and ice volumes for the time interval leading into and out of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used three-dimensional thermomechanical models of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to simulate their behavior during the glacial cycles, to reconstruct their thickness and extent at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and to estimate their glacio-eustatic contribution to the global sea-level stand.

TL;DR: In this article, the three largest cooling events in the Northern Hemisphere closely followed four of the five largest outbursts from Lake Agassiz: (1) the Younger Dryas, which was preceded by a release of 9500km 3, (2) the Preboreal Oscillation, preceded by releases of 9300 km 3 and 5900 km 3, and (3) the “8.2 kn cold event, preceding by a 163,000 km 3 outburst; these are, respectively, fluxes of 0.30 sv, 0.

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial distribution of centennial-scale climate records of MIS 3 glacial, terrestrial and marine sites have been compiled in three tables according to their temporal resolution and publication status.

TL;DR: In this paper, the general issues regarding ice sheets and sea level of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) were discussed. But the authors focused on the last glacial maximum and did not address the current LGM.

TL;DR: In this paper, an emerging body of evidence from studies of the last glacial/interglacial cycle suggests that the East and West Antarctic ice sheets have not advanced and retreated in concert.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the Late Quaternary (c. 20,300-<505 ǫ-yr BP) environmental history of Siles, a lake situated at 1320 m in the Segura mountains of southern Spain, with the goal of establishing the mechanisms exerting control on vegetation change.

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution oxygen and hydrogen isotope measurements were made on pore fluids from deep-sea sediments from sites in the North and South Atlantic to provide direct measurements of changes in the isotopic composition of bottom waters during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the question of the magnitude and time dependence of the globally averaged (eustatic) rise of sea level that occurred subsequent to the time of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) at approximately 21,000 calendar years before present.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a complete physical explanation for the origin of equatorial ocean syphoning, and the associated development of sea-level highstands, using numerical solutions of the equation that governs meltwater redistribution on spherical, viscoelastic Earth models.

TL;DR: In this article, sea level cycles recorded by coral terraces at Huon Peninsula (HP) in Papua New Guinea match rapid climate changes that occurred between 30,000 and 65,000 years ago, seen in Greenland ice cores and marine sediments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the extent of the Patagonian icesheet during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and its subsequent deglaciation is modeled and a coupled icesheets/climate numerical model with empirical evidence is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the history of the British and Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has been advanced by new approaches, in particular, by cosmogenic nuclide surface-exposure dating, aminostratigraphy of ‘shelly’ glacial deposits, AMS radiocarbon dating, and the evidence from continental margin marine cores, all of which supersede the previously weak geochronologic control.

TL;DR: In this article, the Mekong River Delta was studied during the late Holocene and the last 3kyr was characterized by delta progradation under increasing wave influence, southeastward sediment dispersal, decreasing progradations rates, beach-ridge formation, and steepening of the face of the delta front.

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution δ18O records from cored sediments of Pyramid Lake, Nevada, indicate that oscillations in the hydrologic balance occurred, on average, about every 150 years during the past 7630 calendar years (cal

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employ the strategy of estimating calcification temperatures from Mg/Ca and removing this signal from an observed δ18O record of planktonic foraminifera from a core on the Cocos Ridge, eastern equatorial Pacific.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared high-resolution d 13 C records of benthic foraminifera Cibicides wuellerstorfi, a proxy for deep-water ventilation, with the Dansgaard-Oeschger temperature oscillations.

TL;DR: In this paper, optically stimulated luminescence and cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure dating have been used to determine the age and timing of Himalayan glaciation in the late Quaternary.

TL;DR: The Late Wisconsinan Cordilleran ice sheet covered British Columbia, southern Yukon Territory, and parts of Alaska, Washington, Idaho, and Montana, and flow was strongly controlled by topography as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a land system model for temperate, actively receding glaciers is presented based upon Breiðamerkurjokull and Fjallsjokll, Iceland.

TL;DR: A reconstruction of the Antarctic Ice Sheet at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) constrained by geologic data, showed expansion across continental shelves accompanied by little inland change as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a principal component analysis was performed on the upper ocean temperature during the Holocene (10-0 ka B.P) using the alkenone method from seven, high accumulation sediment cores raised from the northeast Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea (361N-751N).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used cosmogenic 36Cl and 10Be to date the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) moraine boulders from the Hamilton moraine.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a study to determine the Late Quaternary glacial history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in Pine Island Bay, Antarctica, using multibeam bathymetry and deep-tow side-scan sonar surveys.

TL;DR: Macklin, Mark, Fuller, I.C., Lewin, J., Maas, G.A., (2002) 'Correlation of fluvial sequences in the Mediterranean basin over the last 200 ka and their relationship to climate change', Quaternary Science Reviews 21(14-15) pp.1633-1641 RAE2008

TL;DR: In this article, 13 Holocene palaeolakes in the western Sahara and Sahel have provided diatom records, with carbonate oxygen isotope profiles available from eight of them.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the C 37 alkenone distributions in core MD952011 from the Norwegian Sea (about 65°N) has allowed the evaluation of the applicability of the U 37 K and U37 K′ indexes in these cold waters.
