Timing of glaciation during the last glacial cycle: evaluating the concept of a global 'Last Glacial Maximum'(LGM)

PD Hughes, PL Gibbard, J Ehlers - Earth-Science Reviews, 2013 - Elsevier
It has long been known that mountain glaciers and continental ice sheets around the globe
reached their respective maximum extent at different times during the last glacial cycle, often …

Late Quaternary glacial phases in the Iberian Peninsula

M Oliva, D Palacios, JM Fernández-Fernández… - Earth-Science …, 2019 - Elsevier
The only glaciers existing today in the Iberian Peninsula are small features located in the
Pyrenees, though their number and extension has undergone significant changes over the …

Atmospheric circulation over Europe during the Younger Dryas

BR Rea, R Pellitero, M Spagnolo, P Hughes… - Science …, 2020 - science.org
The Younger Dryas (YD) was a period of rapid climate cooling that occurred at the end of the

Quaternary glaciation in the Mediterranean mountains: a new synthesis

PD Hughes, JC Woodward - 2017 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The Mediterranean mountains were repeatedly glaciated during the Pleistocene. Glaciers
were present in most of the major mountains areas from Morocco in the west to the Black …

M Oliva, M Žebre, M Guglielmin, PD Hughes… - Earth-Science …, 2018 - Elsevier
The relatively warm climate conditions prevailing today in the Mediterranean region limit
cold geomorphological processes only to the highest mountain environments. However …

Heinrich Stadial aridity forced Mediterranean-wide glacier retreat in the last cold stage

JL Allard, PD Hughes, JC Woodward - Nature Geoscience, 2021 - nature.com

Early maximum extent of paleoglaciers from Mediterranean mountains during the last glaciation

D Domínguez-Villar, RM Carrasco, J Pedraza… - Scientific reports, 2013 - nature.com
