Holocene alpine glaciation inferred from lacustrine sediments on northeastern Baffin Island, Arctic Canada
With accelerated melting of alpine glaciers, understanding the future state of the cryosphere is critical. Because the observational record of glacier response to climate change is short, palaeo-records of glacier change are needed. Using proglacial lake sediments, which contain continuous and datable records of past glacier activity, we investigate Holocene glacier fluctuations on northeastern...
متن کاملHolocene climate variability in arid Asia: Nature and mechanisms
The papers in this special issue are derived from a selection of presentations given at the RACHAD workshop titled ‘‘Pattern of Holocene Climate Change in Central Asia: Data Synthesis’’ held at Lanzhou University, People’s Republic of China, from 25th to 27th July 2006. RACHAD is INQUA Palaeoclimate Commission (PALCOMM) Project (#0502), concerned with ‘rapid climate change in Central Asia’s dry...
متن کاملQuaternary lacustrine deposits in a high-energy semi-arid mountain environment, Karakoram Mountains, northern Pakistan
impressive Quaternary lacustrine deposits are present as terrace remnants throughout the Karakoram Mountains, northern Pakistan. They are mainly the result of damming of drainage systems during glacial advances or by catastrophic mass movement deposits. The longevity of most lakes is relatively short, in the order of years to tens of yeaa, but sedimentation rates are extremely high as a consequ...
متن کاملIran's Climatic Change in the Holocene
Introduction Paleoclimatics studies can respond the many uncertainties about past climate change; an issue that is being studied seriously in the world but less attention has been paid in Iran. The Late Quaternary can be considered as Holocene. Holocene, which spans over 11,000 years ago; In general, it is considered as a period with relatively warm and stable climatic conditions. However, rec...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal patterns of Holocene vegetation and climate changes in arid and semi-arid China
Pollen data from 30 sites in arid and semi-arid regions of China were reviewed to document regional patterns of Holocene vegetation and climate change and to understand the large-scale controls on these changes. Vegetation at most sites in eastern Inner Mongolia switched between forest, forest steppe, and typical steppe, showing maximum moisture conditions before 6 ka (1 ka 1⁄4 1000 cal yr BP) ...
