Der erste Fund von Kieselgur in Schleswig—Holstein bei Brokenlande, südlich von Neumünster (Mit einem Beitrag zur Biostratigraphe des „Saale-Spätglazials“) [PDF]
Pollenanalytical studies of diatomaceous earth (Kieselgur) discovered for the first time in Schleswig-Holstein (south of Neumünster) indicate a firm Eemian Interglacial date.

Evaluating the variability of glacial lakes in the Kyrgyz and Teskey ranges, Tien Shan
The northern Tien Shan Mountains are one of the most hazardous areas in Kyrgyzstan due to frequent glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). The current status of glacial lakes in this region has not been reported in recent years.

Bifurcations and strange nonchaotic attractors in a phase oscillator model of glacial-interglacial cycles [PDF]
Glacial-interglacial cycles are large variations in continental ice mass and greenhouse gases, which have dominated climate variability over the Quaternary. The dominant periodicity of the cycles is $\sim $40 kyr before the so-called middle Pleistocene transition between $\sim$1.2 and $\sim$0.7 Myr ago, and it is $\sim $100 kyr after the transition. In

Mitochondrial DNA signals of late glacial recolonization of Europe from near Eastern refugia [PDF]
Human populations, along with those of many other species, are thought to have contracted into a number of refuge areas at the height of the last Ice Age.

Glacial lakes are important freshwater resources in southern Tibet. However, glacial lake outburst floods have significantly jeopardized the safety of local residents. To better understand the changes in glacial lakes in response to climate change, it is

Simulating Marine Isotope Stage 7 with a coupled climate–ice sheet model [PDF]
It is widely accepted that orbital variations are responsible for the generation of glacial cycles during the late Pleistocene. However, the relative contributions of the orbital forcing compared to CO2 variations and other feedback mechanisms causing ...

The evolution of a glacial lake is a true reflection of glacial and climatic change. Currently, the study of glacial lakes in the Altai Mountains is mainly concerned with the application of high-resolution remote sensing images to monitor and evaluate ...

Patterns in glacial-earthquake activity around Greenland, 2011–13
Glacial earthquakes are caused by large iceberg calving events, which are an important mechanism for mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet. The number of glacial earthquakes in Greenland has increased sixfold over the past two decades.

Influence of external forcings on abrupt millennial-scale climate changes: a statistical modelling study [PDF]
The last glacial period was punctuated by a series of abrupt climate shifts, the so-called Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) events. The frequency of DO events varied in time, supposedly because of changes in background climate conditions. Here, the influence of external forcings on DO events is investigated with statistical modelling.
