Andean drought and glacial retreat tied to Greenland warming during the last glacial period [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2020
How the abrupt warming events recorded in Greenland ice cores during the last glacial cycle have influenced the tropical climate is not well known. Here the authors present new lake sediment data from the Peruvian Andes that shows that these events ...

Fire history in arid and semi-arid regions of northwest China during the last glacial period inferred from a charcoal record in Hetao Basin. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
In arid and semi-arid regions of northwest China, the ecological environment is fragile and fire occurs frequently. Fire has an important impact on the regional ecological environment.

Stalagmite evidence for East Asian winter monsoon variability and 18O-depleted surface water in the Japan Sea during the last glacial period

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2021
In the East Asian monsoon area, stalagmites generally record lower and higher oxygen isotope (δ18O) levels during warm humid interglacial and cold dry glacial periods, respectively.

Future prediction of existing glacial lake’s size in the Himalaya by Markov model and glacial surface topography

All Earth, 2023
Glacial lakes in the Himalayas are increasing in size and number at an alarming rate, with the majority of lakes concentrated in the eastern and central parts of the mountain range. This research focuses on the future prediction of regional-scale glacial

The Glacial Period [PDF]

Nature, 1874
BOTH Mr. Belt and Mr. Bonney, have, I think, missed the one point on which the question under discussion turns. The shell-bearing drift-gravels are well stratified. I can speak to those in the neighbourhood of Macclesfield, which run up to 1,100 ft. above the sea, being also very delicately, current-laminated. I am puzzled to imagine how this structure

Hydrographic changes in the Agulhas Recirculation Region during the late Quaternary [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2014
The strength of Southern Hemisphere westerlies, as well as the positions of the subtropical front (STF), Agulhas Current (AC) and Agulhas Return Current (ARC) control the hydrography of the southwestern Indian Ocean. Although equatorward migration of the
