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 last 6000years are of particular interest to the understanding of the Earth System
because the boundary conditions of the climate system did not change dramatically (in …

We 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 …

A global compilation of glacier advances and retreats for the past two millennia grouped by
17 regions (excluding Antarctica) highlights the nature of glacier fluctuations during the late …

We present a review of the changing state of European permafrost within a spatial zone that
includes the continuous high latitude arctic permafrost of Svalbard and the discontinuous …

• The sustained rate of increase over the past century in the combined radiative forcing from
the three well-mixed greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous …

This review focuses on the development of the 'Little Ice Age'as a glaciological and climatic
concept, and evaluates its current usefulness in the light of new data on the glacier and …

Documentation of glacier changes is a key element for reconstruction of past climate
variability and early detection of global climate change. In this paper, records of Holocene …

During the early Holocene abrupt, decadal to centennial-scale climate variations caused
significant glacier variations in Norway. Increased freshwater inflow to the North Atlantic and …

The last decade has seen a global surge in the number and resolution of well-dated
geomorphological reconstructions of mountain glacier fluctuations and former ice sheet …
