Assessing the statistical uniqueness of the Younger Dryas: a robust multivariate analysis [PDF]
During the last glacial period (ca. 120–11 kyr BP), dramatic temperature swings, known as Dansgaard–Oeschger (D–O) events, are clearly manifest in high-resolution oxygen isotope records from the Greenland Ice Sheet.

The state of knowledge on the deglaciation of America in 2017
This work presents a summary of all contributions included in this Special Issue on the deglaciation of America. It analyses the differences and coincidences between the phases of glacial evolution and their chronology in each of the regions studied, and

Arctic drainage of Laurentide Ice Sheet meltwater throughout the past 14,700 years
A strong outflow event from Lake Agassiz at the end of the Bølling-Allerød plausibly caused the Younger Dryas cold period by an abrupt Arctic freshening, according to geochemical investigation of sediment cores from the Canadian Arctic.

Revisiting the andean tropical glacier behavior during the Antarctic cold reversal
The sensitivity of tropical glaciers to paleoclimatic conditions that prevailed during the Antarctic cold reversal (ACR, ca. 14.5-12.9 ka) has been the subject of a wide debate.

Detailed organic carbon isotope (δ13Corg) measurements were conducted on two peat sequences recovered from the north bank of the Yangtze River, East China. Seven radiocarbon dates provided firm age control of this δ13Corg record and reveal palaeoclimatic

Glacial geomorphology in the Wicklow Mountains, Ireland
We present a detailed 1:50,000-scale glacial geomorphological map covering ∼450 km2 of the Wicklow Mountains, eastern Ireland. The region was glaciated at the Last Glacial Maximum, but little is known about the timing and pattern of deglaciation during ...

We made the geochemical analysis of the volcanic material from the sediment core AMK-340 (the Russian research vessel “Akademik Mstislav Keldysh” station 340), the central zone of the Reykjanes Ridge. Two ash-bearing sediment units within the

The magnetic record of the Late Glacial-Holocene transition in sediments from Grandfather Lake (Southwest Alaska) [PDF]
Preliminary rock magnetic measurements on a 8.5 m long sediment core from Grandfather Lake, southwest Alaska, indicate that the remanence in these sediments is carried by large multi-domain magnetite grains. This suggests a detrital magnetic signal.
