The last Eurasian ice sheets - a chronological database and time-slice reconstruction, DATED-1

Anna L.C. Hughes, +4 more
- 01 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new time-slice reconstruction of the Eurasian ice sheets (British-Irish, Svalbard-Barents-Kara Seas and Scandinavian) documenting the spatial evolution of these interconnected ice sheets every 1000 years from 25 to 10 years and at four selected time periods back to 40 years.

Deglaciation of Fennoscandia

Arjen P. Stroeven, +19 more
- 01 Sep 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a new reconstruction of the deglaciation of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet, in the form of calendar-year time-slices, which are particularly useful for ice sheet modelling.

Cryptic or mystic? Glacial tree refugia in northern Europe

Polychronis C Tzedakis, +3 more
- 01 Dec 2013 - 
TL;DR: The evidence for tree refugia in northern Europe during the Late Pleniglacial interval of maximum tree-range contraction is examined, with the absence of temperate trees north of 45°N and a west-east (W-E) asymmetry in boreal tree distribution.

Timing of glaciation during the last glacial cycle: evaluating the concept of a global 'Last Glacial Maximum' (LGM)

Philip D. Hughes, +2 more
- 01 Oct 2013 - 
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.

Ancient Hybridization and an Irish Origin for the Modern Polar Bear Matriline

Ceiridwen J. Edwards, +18 more
- 09 Aug 2011 - 
TL;DR: The reconstructed matrilineal history of brown and polar bears has two striking features: first, it is punctuated by dramatic and discrete climate-driven dispersal events, and second, opportunistic mating between these two species as their ranges overlapped has left a strong genetic imprint.

The Physics of Glaciers

W.S.B. Paterson, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the transformation of snow to ice mass balance heat budget and climatology structure and deformation of ice hydraulics and glaciers glacier sliding deformation, subglacial till structures and fabrics in glaciers and ice sheets distribution of temperature in glaciers, flow of ice shelves and ice streams non-steady flow of glaciers, ice sheets surging and tidewater glaciers ice core studies.

The Last Glacial Maximum.

Peter U. Clark, +8 more
- 07 Aug 2009 - 
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.

Quaternary glaciations : extent and chronology

Jürgen Ehlers, +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an up-to-date, detailed overview of the Quaternary glaciations all over the world, not only with regard to stratigraphy but also with regards to major glacial landforms and the extent of the respective ice sheets.

Radiocarbon calibration curve spanning 0 to 50,000 years BP based on paired 230 Th/ 234 U/ 238 U and 14 C dates on pristine corals

Richard G. Fairbanks, +13 more
- 01 Sep 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented high precision paired 230 Th/ 234 U/ 238 U and 14 C age determinations on pristine coral samples that enable them to extend the radiocarbon calibration curve from 12,000 to 50,000 years before present.
