Geomorphological mapping is a well-established method for examining earth surface
processes and landscape evolution in a range of environmental contexts. In glacial …

Abstract The Steppe Altai is a natural transition zone between the Central Asian steppes and
deserts and the Siberian taiga. Various lakes located in the Kulunda lowland, the biggest …

The timing of past glaciation across the Tian Shan provides a proxy for past climate change
in this critical area. Correlating glacial stages across the region is difficult but cosmogenic …

Quantifying the timing and extent of Quaternary mountain glaciations can help us in
understanding the cause of ice-age cycles. As such, impressive achievements have been …

Results from geomorphological, sedimentological and geochronological analyses, together
with micropaleontological and mineralogical characteristics of lacustrine deposits in five …

Pleistocene floods, from ice-dammed lakes in the Russian Altai Mountains, are among the
largest freshwater megafloods in Earth history. Improved dating techniques have led to new …

Determining what caused the global Last Glaciation and last glacial termination, despite
opposing orbital summer insolation signatures between the polar hemispheres, remains a …

Glacial and lacustrine sediments from the Mongolian Altai provide paleoclimatic information
for the late Pleistocene in Mongolia, for which only a few sufficiently studied archives exist …

Spanning the northern sector of High Asia, the Altai region contains a rich landform record of
glaciation. We report the extent, chronologies, and dynamics of two paleoglaciers on …

Mountain glaciers at∼ 26–19 ka, during the global Last Glacial Maximum near the end of
the last 10 5 yr glacial cycle, are commonly considered on the basis of dating and field …
