TL;DR: In this paper, the maximum limits of the Eurasian ice sheets during four glaciations have been reconstructed: (1) the Late Saalian (>140 ka), (2) the Early Weichselian (100-80 ka),(3) the Middle Weichsellian (60-50 ka), and (4) the late Weichselsian (25-15 ka) based on satellite data and aerial photographs combined with geological field investigations in Russia and Siberia, and with marine seismic and sediment core data.

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

History and evolution of the arctic flora: in the footsteps of Eric Hulten
TL;DR: There is now excellent fossil, molecular and phytogeographical evidence to support Hultén's proposal that Beringia was a major northern refugium for arctic plants throughout the Quaternary, but most molecular evidence fails to support his proposal that contemporary east and west Atlantic populations of circumarctic and amphi‐Atlantic species have been separated throughout the quaternary.

Polyploidy in arctic plants
Christian Brochmann,Anne K. Brysting,Inger Greve Alsos,Liv Borgen,Hanne Hegre Grundt,Anne-Cathrine Scheen,Reidar Elven +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the evolutionary success of polyploids in the Arctic may be based on their fixed-heterozygous genomes, which buffer against inbreeding and genetic drift through periods of dramatic climate change.

Ice sheets and sea level of the Last Glacial Maximum
Peter U. Clark,Alan C. Mix +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the general issues regarding ice sheets and sea level of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) were discussed. But the authors focused on the last glacial maximum and did not address the current LGM.
