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.

Non-spherical microparticle shape in Antarctica during the last glacial period affects dust volume-related metrics [PDF]
Knowledge of microparticle geometry is essential for accurate calculation of ice core volume-related dust metrics (mass, flux, and particle size distributions) and subsequent paleoclimate interpretations, yet particle shape data remain sparse in ...

West Antarctic ice sheet change since the Last Glacial Period [PDF]
The potential for rapid deglaciation, or collapse, of the 2‐million‐square‐kilometer West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) in response to climate change is one of the most serious environmental threats facing mankind. The WAIS is a marine ice sheet with large parts of its ice grounded below sea level. Complete collapse would result in a global sea level rise

NALPS19: sub-orbital-scale climate variability recorded in northern Alpine speleothems during the last glacial period [PDF]
Sub-orbital-scale climate variability of the last glacial period provides important insights into the rates at which the climate can change state, the mechanisms that drive such changes, and the leads, lags, and synchronicity occurring across different ...
