PROF. TYNDALL has several times called attention to a point in regard to the height of the snow-line, which seems to be steadily overlooked by those who speculate on the causes of the great prevalence of snow during the glacial epoch. It is of course well known that the height of the snow-line at any place is determined mainly by two things, viz., the ...

PLEASE correct an error in the notice of my paper on the Glacial Period (NATURE, vol. xxiv. p. 364). It is on the western slope of New Zealand that the glaciers reach to the highest mean annual temperature (10° C., or 50° F.) as well as to the lowest level.

Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles of the penultimate and last glacial period recorded in stalagmites from Türkiye. [PDF]
The last glacial period is characterized by abrupt climate oscillations, also known as Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) cycles. However, D-O cycles remain poorly documented in climate proxy records covering the penultimate glacial period.

Millennial and orbital scale variability of the South American Monsoon during the penultimate glacial period. [PDF]
The presence of large, rapid climate oscillations is the most prominent feature of the Earth’s last glacial period. These oscillations are observed throughout the Northern Hemisphere and into the Southern Hemisphere tropics.

Limited grounding-line advance onto the West Antarctic continental shelf in the easternmost Amundsen Sea Embayment during the last glacial period. [PDF]
Precise knowledge about the extent of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; c. 26.5–19 cal. ka BP) is important in order to 1) improve paleo-ice sheet reconstructions, 2) provide a robust empirical framework for ...

Timing and causes of North African wet phases during the last glacial period and implications for modern human migration. [PDF]
We present the first speleothem-derived central North Africa rainfall record for the last glacial period. The record reveals three main wet periods at 65-61 ka, 52.5-50.5 ka and 37.5-33 ka that lead obliquity maxima and precession minima.

. Large volcanic eruptions occurring in the last glacial period can be detected in terms of their deposited sulfuric acid in continuous ice cores. Here we employ continuous sulfate and sulfur records from three Greenland and three Antarctic ice cores to ...
