TLDR
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.About:

Structure and origin of Holocene cold events
Heinz Wanner,Heinz Wanner,Olga Solomina,Martin Grosjean,Martin Grosjean,Stefan P. Ritz,Stefan P. Ritz,Markéta Jetel +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Holocene Climate Atlas (HOCLAT) is presented based on carefully selected 10,000-year-long time series of temperature and humidity/precipitation, as well as reconstructions of glacier advances.

TL;DR: A global overview of glacier advances and retreats (grouped by regions and by millennia) for the Holocene is compiled from previous studies as mentioned in this paper, which reconstructs of glacier fluctuations are based on mapping and dating moraines defined by 14 C, TCN, OSL, lichenometry and tree rings (discontinuous records/time series).

TL;DR: A global compilation of glacier advances and retreats for the past two millennia grouped by 17 regions (excluding Antarctica) highlights the nature of glacier fluctuations during the late Holocene as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glacier variations in the European Alps at the end of the last glaciation
TL;DR: The Egesen stadial moraines as discussed by the authors formed at the margins of glaciers that advanced during the closing phase of the last glacial maximum or during the earliest Holocene at 10.5-12.5 ka.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quaternary glaciation history of northern Switzerland
TL;DR: In this paper, a revidierte Vergletscherungsgeschichte of the nordlichen Vorlandes der Schweizer Alpen wird vorgestellt, basierend auf Feldbefunden and chronologischen dataen of verschiedenen Schlussellokalitaten and Regionen.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new calibration curve for the conversion of radiocarbon ages to calibrated (cal) ages has been constructed and internationally ratified to replace IntCal98, which extended from 0-24 cal kyr BP (Before Present, 0 cal BP = AD 1950).

The role of increasing temperature variability in European summer heatwaves
Christoph Schär,Pier Luigi Vidale,Daniel Lüthi,Christoph Frei,Christian Häberli,Mark A. Liniger,Christof Appenzeller +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that an event like that of summer 2003 is statistically extremely unlikely, even when the observed warming is taken into account, and it is proposed that a regime with an increased variability of temperatures (in addition to increases in mean temperature) may be able to account for summer 2003.

Long-term variations of daily insolation and Quaternary climatic changes
TL;DR: In this paper, a trigonometrical formula for the Earth's orbital elements is presented, which allows direct spectral analysis and the computation of those long-term variations of the orbital elements which are of primary interest for the calculation of the insolation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air pressure and cosmogenic isotope production
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the cosmic ray flux increases at higher altitude as air pressure and the shielding effect of the atmosphere decrease, and that altitude-dependent scaling factors are required to compensate for this effect in calculating cosmic ray exposure ages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of the radiocarbon calibration program
TL;DR: This paper highlights some of the main developments to the radiocarbon calibration program, OxCal, including changes to the sampling algorithms used which improve the convergence of the Bayesian analysis.
