چکیده
The last British-Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) created a landscape with many sedimentary basins that preserve archives of paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic change during the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition (LGIT; ~ 18-8 ka BP). typical lithostratigraphic succession these is composed minerogenic/allogenic sediments formed cold climatic conditions organic-rich/authigenic warmer climates. This paper presents multi-core lithostratigraphy compiled from extant lake surrounding basin at Llangorse Lake, south Wales, lying within southernmost limits BIIS. contains one longest continuous terrestrial sediment successions in UK. Uncertainty previously existed concerning presence distribution site related to Windermere Interstadial (~ 14.7 12.9 BP) Loch Lomond Stadial 11.7 A new borehole survey demonstrates LGIT-age are present nekron mud (gyttja), corresponding Lateglacial Interstadial, deposited deeper part waters deposits equivalent age marl found shallower depths margins basin. These associated experienced Holocene, whilst minerogenic-rich were colder Dimlington rangefinder radiocarbon dates confirming this attribution. model level changes shows drainage glacial caused largest fall, but there was also further, smaller fall end and/or start Stadial, before rose early Holocene. results presented here form framework for further research Lake.

Late Quaternary lake-level changes constrained by radiocarbon and stable isotope studies on sediment cores from Lake Titicaca, South America
We present and compare AMS-C geochronologies for sediment cores recovered from Lake Titicaca, South America. Radiocarbon dates from three core sites constrain the timing of late Quaternary paleoenvironmental changes in the Central Andes and highlight the site-specific factors that limit the radiocarbon geochronometer. With the exception of mid-Holocene sediments, all cores are generally devoid ...

متن کاملDigital landscapes of deglaciation: Identifying Late Quaternary glacial lake outburst
High resolution DEMs obtained from LiDAR topographic data have led to 9 improved landform inventories (e.g. landslides and fault scarps) and understanding of 10 geomorphic event frequency. Here we use airborne LiDAR mapping to investigate 11 meltwater pathways associated with the Tweed Valley palaeo ice-stream (UK). In particular 12 we focus on a gorge downstream of Palaeolake Milfield, previou...
متن کاملLate quaternary environmental history of lake valencia, Venezuela.
Chemical, paleontological, and mineralogical analyses of a 7.5-meter core from the middle of Lake Valencia, Venezuela, have provided information on the paleoclimatic history of this low-elevation, low-latitude site for the last 13,000 years. The data show that dry climates existed in this region from 13,000 years before present (B.P.) until about 10,000 years B.P. The Lake Valencia Basin was oc...
