Alpine Evidence for Atmospheric Circulation Patterns in Europe during the Last Glacial Maximum
TLDR
In this paper, the configuration of Alpine accumulation areas during the last glacial maximum (LGM) was reconstructed using glacial-geological mapping, which indicated that the LGM ice surface consisted of at least three major ice domes, all located south of the principal weather divide of the Alps.About:

Chronology of the last glacial cycle in the
Susan Ivy-Ochs,Hanns Kerschner,Anne U. Reuther,Frank Preusser,Klaus Heine,Max Maisch,Peter W. Kubik +6 more
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.

Catastrophic arid episodes in the Eastern Mediterranean linked with the North Atlantic Heinrich events
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed lake-level history of the closed Lake Lisan (paleo-dead Sea) in the Middle East has been reconstructed from shoreline indications and high resolution U-Th and 1 4 C chronologies, thus providing data on the response of the lake's catchment area to the climate changes during the corresponding period.

Timing of glaciation during the last glacial cycle: evaluating the concept of a global 'Last Glacial Maximum' (LGM)
TL;DR: 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 well before the global Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; c. 23-19-ka), which is formally defined by peaks in global sea level and marine oxygen isotope records as discussed by the authors.

Relation between rock uplift and denudation from cosmogenic nuclides in river sediment in the Central Alps of Switzerland
TL;DR: In this article, a north-south traverse through the Swiss Central Alps reveals that denudation rates correlate with recent rock uplift rates in both magnitude and spatial distribution, which can be interpreted in several ways: (1) postglacial rebound or climate change has introduced a transient change in which both uplift and denunation follow each other with a short lag time; (2) the amplitude of glacial to interglacial changes in both is small and is contained in the scatter of the data; (3) both are driven by ongoing convergence where their similarity might

Age dating and the orbital theory of the ice ages: Development of a high-resolution 0 to 300,000-year chronostratigraphy
Douglas G. Martinson,Nicklas G Pisias,James D. Hays,John Imbrie,Theodore C. Moore,Nicholas J Shackleton +5 more
TL;DR: Using the concept of "orbital tuning", a continuous, high-resolution deep-sea chronostratigraphy has been developed spanning the last 300,000 yr as mentioned in this paper.

A global biome model based on plant physiology and dominance, soil properties and climate
I. Colin Prentice,Wolfgang Cramer,Sandy P. Harrison,Rik Leemans,Robert A. Monserud,Allen M. Solomon +5 more
TL;DR: A model to predict global patterns in vegetation physiognomy was developed from physiological considera- tions influencing the distributions of different functional types of plant in a given environment, and selected the potentially dominant types from among them as discussed by the authors.

Climatic changes of the last 18,000 years: observations and model simulations
TL;DR: In this article, changes in solar radiation arising from changes in the orientation of the earth's axis had pronounced effects on tropical monsoons and mid-latitude climates as well as on ice-sheet configuration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen isotopes and sea level
TL;DR: In this article, the authors re-examine the data and conclude that the temperature of the abyssal ocean has been an actively varying component of the climate system, and that there has been a discrepancy between the ice volume record that these records imply and that derived from the altitude of dated coral terraces around the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen isotopes, ice volume and sea level
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison is made between the most detailed records of sea level over the last glacial cycle, and two high-quality oxygen isotope records, and a combined record is generated which may be a better approximation to ice volume than was previously available.
