A late-glacial and post-glacial history of amsoldingersee and vicinity, Switzerland

Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Hydrologie, 1984
A multidisciplinary approach was used to study the Late-Glacial and Post-Glacial history of a Swiss Plateau lake. Pollen analysis revealed thirteen major changes in vegetation. A series of coordinated fluctuations in vegetation and lacustrine trophic status were found, which were partially interpreted as the result of climatic changes.

Interhemispheric Correlation of Late Pleistocene Glacial Events

Science, 1995
A radiocarbon chronology shows that piedmont glacier lobes in the Chilean Andes achieved maxima during the last glaciation at 13,900 to 14,890, 21,000, 23,060, 26,940, 29,600, and ≥33,500 carbon-14 years before present ( 14 C yr B.P.) in a cold and wet Subantarctic Parkland environment.

Jura glacial lakes: a paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental evolution since the Late Glacial Period.

2020
<p>During the retreat of a Würm ice sheet, numerous glacial paleolakes took place in the Swiss and French Jura. Two sites were investigated: the Amburnex Valley site (Switzerland), which evolved in well-developed peatland and the Lake Val (France), which is still persisted as a lacustrine system.

Cryptomeria Japonica: Glacial Refugia and Late‐Glacial and Postglacial Migration

Ecology, 1982
Cryptomeria japonica had multiple refugia in Japan where relatively moist, cool climates prevailed during the last glacial period. Its expansion began from scattered full—glacial centers of distribution °15 000 yr ago, reaching its maximum abundance from °7000—2000 yr ago.

Late-Glacial and Post-Glacial subaerial deposits at Pitstone, Buckinghamshire

Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 1966
Abstract A small area of the chalk escarpment north-west of Pitstone Hill, Buckinghamshire, is described. Quarrying has cut into two scarp face coombes lined with unbedded chalk rubble (coombe rock). Overlying this are deposits which on stratigraphical and faunal grounds are assigned to the Late-glacial period of the Weichselian Glaciation.

Late Glacial and Post-Glacial Changes in the Lower Dee Valley

Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, 1912
I. Introduction. This paper is the result of observations made in the Lower Dee Valley by myself and other members of H.M. Geological Survey, in the course of mapping in the Denbighshire Coalfield and neighbouring areas. My thanks are especially due to Mr. G. W. Lamplugh, F.R.S., for the help that his knowledge of Glacial geology has afforded

Animal Invasion of Glacial and Late Glacial Terrestrial Environments in Scandinavia

Oikos, 1966
The problem of geographic origin and immigration routes of biota occurring in north-western Scandinavia in the latter part of the Wiirm glaciation is intimately connected with the development of the environments after the culmination of the Full Glacial period. Analyses of environments in Antarctica and their biotic communities give certain clues.

Extinctions in North America's Late Glacial landscapes

Quaternary International, 2013
Human-caused extinctions of terrestrial mammals in large parts of the world such as North America may have been side-effects of rapid long-distance dispersals (biogeographic range-change) by Homo sapiens moving outward from the Old World. The extinctions help explain how modern humans briskly explored and populated large, empty, and increasingly ...

The Late Ordovician glacial record

2008
An outline of the North Gondwanan, Late Ordovician glacial record is proposed. The related palaeogeographic domain extended from southern high palaeo-latitudes (southeastern Mauritania, Niger) to northern lower palaeo-latitudes (Morocco, Turkey, Sardinia) and covered a more than 4000 km-wide section perpendicular to ice-flow lines. Glacial advances are
