Atmospheric circulation over Europe during the Younger Dryas
The Younger Dryas (YD) was a period of rapid climate cooling that occurred at the end of the
last glaciation. Here, we present the first palaeoglacier-derived reconstruction of YD …

A review of topographic controls on moraine distribution
Ice-marginal moraines are often used to reconstruct the dimensions of former ice masses,
which are then used as proxies for palaeoclimate. This approach relies on the assumption …

Testing the area–altitude balance ratio (AABR) and accumulation–area ratio (AAR) methods of calculating glacier equilibrium-line altitudes
In this study, we compare equilibrium-line altitudes (ELAs) calculated using the area–
