Routes to global glaciation [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2020 Theory and observation suggest that Earth and Earth-like planets can undergo runaway low-latitude glaciation when changes in solar heating or in the carbon cycle exceed a critical threshold. Here, we use a simple dynamical-system representation of the ice–albedo feedback and the carbonate–silicate cycle to show that glaciation is also triggered when ...

Pleistocene glaciation of Fenland, England, and its implications for evolution of the region [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Detailed investigation of landforms and their underlying deposits on the eastern margin of Fenland, East Anglia, demonstrated that they represent a series of glaciofluvial delta-fan and related sediments.

Detecting upland glaciation in Earth’s pre-Pleistocene record [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Earth has sustained continental glaciation several times in its past. Because continental glaciers ground to low elevations, sedimentary records of ice contact can be preserved from regions that were below base level, or subject to subsidence.

End-Ordovician ostracod faunal dynamics in the Baltic Palaeobasin [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2021 The Late Ordovician Baltic Palaeobasin (BPB) offered a favourable environment for a diverse and abundant ostracod fauna to thrive across the basin.

Diversity, 2023 Glaciation has been a powerful determiner of species distributions and the genetic structure of populations. Contemporary distributions of many organisms in North America’s Western Cordillera reflect the influence of Pleistocene glaciation. We identified

Land, 2022 Palaeoglacier modelling is an important approach for reconstructing the palaeoclimate. The timing of glaciations in the central part of the Gangdise Mountains has been constrained previously, but the palaeoclimate remains unclear.

Quaternary chronostratigraphy - a review [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1992 Quaternary development is characterized by strong climatic fluctuations associated with repeated glacier expansions. Consequently the Quaternary chronostratigraphy is largely based on the dating of climatic fluctuations which have led to large-scale ...

Glaciation and Striation [PDF]
Nature, 1912 In your issue of September 26. Dr. A. Irving asks whether in my plate 17 (Phil. Trans., Ser. B., vol. ccii) I have not overlooked the fact that the striations are on the original cortex of the flint nodule. My answer is that I have not done so; the striations are not on the original cortex of the flint nodule—as is clear both from my description of the
