Deglaciation of the Eurasian ice sheet complex.

TLDR
In this article, a first-order thermomechanical ice sheet model was applied to investigate the retreat of the EISC after 23 ka BP, directly extending the work of Patton et al. (2016) who modelled the build-up to its maximum extent.

The configuration of Northern Hemisphere ice sheets through the Quaternary.

TL;DR: A synthesis of empirical data and numerical modelling results related to pre-LGM ice sheets to produce new hypotheses regarding their extent in the Northern Hemisphere at 17 time-slices that span the Quaternary shows pronounced ice-sheet asymmetry within the last glacial cycle and significant variations in ice-marginal positions between older glacial cycles.

Glacial isostatic adjustment modelling: historical perspectives, recent advances, and future directions

TL;DR: Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) describes the response of the solid Earth, the gravitational field, and the oceans to the growth and decay of the global ice sheets as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconciling records of ice streaming and ice margin retreat to produce a palaeogeographic reconstruction of the deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.

TL;DR: The authors reconstructs the deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), with a particular focus on the spatial and temporal variations in ice streaming and the associated changes in flow patterns and ice divides.

Very high resolution interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas (excluding Antarctica) at a spatial resolution of 30 arc s (often referred to as 1-km spatial resolution).

Preliminary reference earth model

TL;DR: In this paper, a large data set consisting of about 1000 normal mode periods, 500 summary travel time observations, 100 normal mode Q values, mass and moment of inertia have been inverted to obtain the radial distribution of elastic properties, Q values and density in the Earth's interior.

Insolation values for the climate of the last 10 million years

TL;DR: In this article, new values for the astronomical parameters of the Earth's orbit and rotation (eccentricity, obliquity and precession) are proposed for paleoclimatic research related to the Late Miocene, the Pliocene and the Quaternary.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Last Glacial Maximum.

TL;DR: The responses of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres differed significantly, which reveals how the evolution of specific ice sheets affected sea level and provides insight into how insolation controlled the deglaciation.
