The cryosphere is an important component of the global climate system. Cryospheric
components are sensitive to climate warming, and changes in the cryosphere can lead to …

This paper reviews current understanding of deglaciation in North, Central and South
America from the Last Glacial Maximum to the beginning of the Holocene. Together with …

The only glaciers existing today in the Iberian Peninsula are small features located in the
Pyrenees, though their number and extension has undergone significant changes over the …

Observations and model experiments highlight the importance of ocean heat in forcing ice
sheet retreat during the present and geological past, but past ocean temperature data are …

Our understanding of the climatic teleconnections that drove ice-age cycles has been limited
by a paucity of well-dated tropical records of glaciation that span several glacial–interglacial …

Glaciers offer the potential to reconstruct past climate over timescales from decades to
millennia. They are found on nearly every continent, and at the Last Glacial Maximum …

Abstract The Greater Yellowstone Glacial System (GYGS) covered about 20,000 km 2 at its
maximum Pleistocene extent. The initiation, culmination, and ultimate decay of the GYGS …

The retreat of glaciers in response to global warming has the potential to trigger landslides
in glaciated regions around the globe. Landslides that enter fjords or lakes can cause …

Cosmogenic exposure dating of glacial boulders is commonly used to estimate the timing of
past glaciations because the method enables direct dating of the duration a boulder has …

The last deglaciation of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) from∼ 21, 000 to 13,000 yr ago is
well-constrained by several hundred 10 Be and 14 C ages. The subsequent retreat history …
