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:

Last Glacial Maximum climatic conditions in the Polish part of the High Tatra Mountains (Western Carpathians)
Michał Makos,Jerzy Nitychoruk +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the extent of the palaeoglaciers was determined using the glacial-geomorphological record of terminal and lateral moraines as well as trimlines.

Continuités, instabilités et ruptures morphogéniques en Provence depuis la dernière glaciation. Travertinisation, détritisme et incisions sur le piémont sud du Grand Luberon (Vaucluse, France). Relations avec les changements climatiques et l'anthropisation.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of the evolution of the postglaciaire of the Luberon Basin in France, in relation with the changes in the climate and the anthropogenic evolution.

Exploring the potential of luminescence methods for dating Alpine rock glaciers
TL;DR: In this article, a case study assessing the potential of luminescence techniques (OSL, IRSL) to date the inner sand-rich layer of active rock glaciers is presented, focusing on the signal properties and the resetting of the signal prior to deposition by investigating single grains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant-wax D/H ratios in the southern European Alps record multiple aspects of climate variability
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a Younger Dryas-Holocene record of the hydrogen isotopic composition of sedimentary plant waxes from the southern European Alps ( Lake Ghirla, N-Italy) to investigate its sensitivity to climatic forcing variations in this mid-latitude region (45°N).
Journal ArticleDOI
Quaternary deformations along the `Engadine Gruf tectonic system', Swiss Italian Alps
TL;DR: The Engadine Line (EL) is a seismically active fault in southeastern Switzerland as mentioned in this paper, whose western segment is characterised by features suggesting neotectonic motions, and the coterminous Gruf Line.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
