Zoological Perspectives on the Late Glacial

2007
Enough mammal specimens of Late Glacial date from the British Isles have been subjected to radiocarbon dating to provide a reliable outline of the likely large mammal fauna of the time, though the accompanying fauna of small mammals has mostly been assigned to this period on associative, rather than direct, dating.

Late-Glacial and Post-Glacial Shorelines in South-East Scotland

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 1966
THE WRITERS have been studying the Late-glacial and Post-glacial shorelines of south-east Scotland for several years. Some of the results of these studies have been published in various papers dealing with particular shorelines or aspects of the area, but no attempt has so far been made to present a statement of the pattern of sea-level changes in the ...

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.

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.

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

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 ...
