Global glaciations have varied in size and magnitude since the Early–Middle Pleistocene
transition (~ 773 ka), despite the apparent regular and high-amplitude 100 ka pacing of …

The Quaternary is synonymous with extensive glaciation of Earth's mid-and high-latitudes.
Although there were local precursors, significant glaciation began in the latest Eocene (ca …

While the abrupt climate events of the last deglaciation are well defined in ice core records
from the polar regions of both hemispheres, their manifestation elsewhere is less well …

Correlation of paleoclimatic evidence with orbital changes shows that the build-up of polar
ice accelerated when low obliquity coincided with perihelion in Northern Hemisphere winter …

The timing of major glacial changes between Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e and the
Younger Dryas chron (YD) in southern South America is reviewed. Focus is placed on …

Ice volume during the last ten 100 ka glacial cycles was driven by solar radiation flux in the
Northern Hemisphere. Early minima in solar radiation combined with critical levels of …

A global overview of glacier advances and retreats (grouped by regions and by millennia)
for the Holocene is compiled from previous studies. The reconstructions of glacier …

The causes of the Mid-Pleistocene Transition, the shift from∼ 41-ky to 100-ky interglacial–
glacial cycles and more intense ice ages, remain intensely debated, as this fundamental …

Interglacials, including the present (Holocene) period, are warm, low land ice extent (high
sea level), end‐members of glacial cycles. Based on a sea level definition, we identify …

Glacier advances in the southern mid-latitudes during the last glacial cycle (ca. 110–10 ka)
were controlled by changes in temperature and precipitation linked to several important …
