The Zealandia Switch: Ice age climate shifts viewed from Southern Hemisphere moraines
Two fundamental questions about the ice-age climate system await satisfactory resolution.
First, if summer solar radiation intensity truly controls the orbital signature of the last glacial …

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

A stratigraphical basis for the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM)
Abstract The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is widely used to refer to the episode when global
ice volume last reached its maximum and associated sea levels were at their lowest …

Deglacial temperature history of West Antarctica
The most recent glacial to interglacial transition constitutes a remarkable natural experiment
for learning how Earth's climate responds to various forcings, including a rise in atmospheric …

Millennial-scale climate oscillations of the last ice age registered in Greenland and Antarctic
ice cores did not always vary in unison. A striking example is that the strongest Antarctic …

Rapid interhemispheric climate links via the Australasian monsoon during the last deglaciation
Recent studies have proposed that millennial-scale reorganization of the ocean-atmosphere
circulation drives increased upwelling in the Southern Ocean, leading to rising atmospheric …

Human-induced changes in the distribution of rainfall
A likely consequence of global warming will be the redistribution of Earth's rain belts,
affecting water availability for many of Earth's inhabitants. We consider three ways in which …

700,000 years of tropical Andean glaciation
Our understanding of the climatic teleconnections that drove ice-age cycles has been limited
by a paucity of well-dated tropical records of glaciation that span several glacial–interglacial …

A review of topographic controls on moraine distribution
Ice-marginal moraines are often used to reconstruct the dimensions of former ice masses,
which are then used as proxies for palaeoclimate. This approach relies on the assumption …

A maximum in global glacier extent during MIS 4
The most recent maximum in global ice volume occurred around 23,000 to 19,000 years
ago, during Marine Isotope Stage 2 (MIS 2;∼ 29-14 ka) according to benthic δ 18 O and sea …
