The late Pleistocene glacial sequence in the middle Maruia valley, southeast Nelson, New Zealand

Late Pleistocene glacial advances in the western Tibet interior

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Keywords: cosmogenic 10 Be 21 Ne Tibet climate glacier It has long been observed that the timing of glacial advances is asynchronous across the Himalaya– Karakoram–Tibet Plateau (HKTP) but the climatic implications, if any, remain unclear. Resolving this question requires additional glacial chronologies from unique spatial and climatic regimes as well as an...

Interhemispheric correlation of late pleistocene glacial events.

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. The last glaciation ended with massive collapse of ice lobes close to 14,000(14)C yr B.P., accompanied by a...

The sequence and timing of large late Pleistocene floods from glacial Lake Missoula

Glacial Lake Missoula formed when the Purcell Trench lobe of the Cordilleran ice sheet dammed Clark Fork River in Montana during the Fraser Glaciation (marine oxygen isotope stage 2). Over a period of several thousand years, the lake repeatedly filled and drained through its ice dam, and floodwaters coursed across the landscape in eastern Washington. In this paper, we describe the stratigraphy ...

Late Glacial Origin of the Maumee Valley Terraces, Northwestern Ohio

Four major paired terraces and six short local terraces have been identified along the Maumee River valley between the Ohio-Indiana state line and Perrysburg in northwestern Ohio by detailed field mapping and study of gaging-station records, water-well logs, and soils data. From highest to lowest, the paired terraces have been named the Antwerp, Florida, Napoleon, and Grand Rapids terraces. The...
