Were the Larsemann Hills ice-free through the Last Glacial Maximum?
Lake sediments in the Larsemann Hills contain a great diversity ofbiological and physical markers from which past environments can be inferred. In order to determine the timing of environmental changes it is essential to have accurate dating of sediments. We used radiometric (*loPb and I3'Cs), radiocarbon (AMS "C) and uranium series (2'*U) methods to date cores from eleven lakes. These were sam...
متن کاملThe Last Glacial Maximum.
We used 5704 14C, 10Be, and 3He ages that span the interval from 10,000 to 50,000 years ago (10 to 50 ka) to constrain the timing of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in terms of global ice-sheet and mountain-glacier extent. Growth of the ice sheets to their maximum positions occurred between 33.0 and 26.5 ka in response to climate forcing from decreases in northern summer insolation, tropical Pac...
متن کاملIce sheets and sea level of the Last Glacial Maximum
This paper outlines the general issues regarding ice sheets and sea level of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), which formed the basis of an EPILOG Project workshop. Papers in this special issue of Quaternary Science Reviews provide a comprehensive assessment of these issues from the perspective of geological reconstructions of ice sheet extent, records of sea-level change, ice sheet modelling, ge...
متن کاملHow cold were the tropics and subtropics at the Last Glacial Maximum?
The spatial pattern and magnitude of tropical and subtropical sea surface temperatures (SSTs) at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) have been a major challenge for many years. The range of the LGM tropical and subtropical cooling remains a major source of uncertainties for our understanding of the LGM climate. The global SST reconstruction for the LGM is an important ocean surface boundary conditio...
