Detecting upland glaciation in Earth’s pre-Pleistocene record
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.

The Spiral Structure of the Milky Way, Cosmic Rays, and Ice Age Epochs on Earth [PDF]
, 2002 The short term variability of the Galactic cosmic ray flux (CRF) reaching Earth has been previously associated with variations in the global low altitude cloud cover. This CRF variability arises from changes in the solar wind strength.

Runoff modelling in glacierized Central Asian catchments for present-day and future climate [PDF]
, 2006 A conceptual precipitation–runoff model was applied in five glacierized catchments in Central Asia. The model, which was first developed and applied in the Alps, works on a daily time step and yields good results in the more continental climate of the ...

The Mediterranean deep-sea fauna: historical evolution, bathymetric variations and geographical changes [PDF]
, 2004 The deep-water fauna of the Mediterranean is characterized by an absence of distinctive characteristics and by a relative impoverishment. Both are a result of events after the Messinian salinity crisis (Late Miocene).

Late Glacial and Holocene Palaeolake History of the Última Esperanza Region of Southern Patagonia
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 We undertook multi-proxy analyses on two sediment cores from Lago Pato, a small lake basin at 51°S topographically separated from Lago del Toro in Torres del Paine (TdP), to provide insights into glacier dynamics and lake-level change in the TdP and ...

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.

Climate change and the selective signature of the Late Ordovician mass extinction [PDF]
, 2012 Selectivity patterns provide insights into the causes of ancient extinction events. The Late Ordovician mass extinction was related to Gondwanan glaciation; however, it is still unclear whether elevated extinction rates were attributable to record ...
