Reconstructing glacier-based climates of LGM Europe and Russia – Part 3: Comparison with GCM and pollen-based climate reconstructions

Modeling topographic and climatic control of east-west asymmetry in Sierra Nevada glacier length during the Last Glacial Maximum

[1] Glaciers draining westward from the Sierra Nevada divide, California, during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) were 7 times longer than east-draining glaciers. We address the degree to which this difference may be attributed to the topographic asymmetry of the west-tilted Sierran block and the climate asymmetry resulting from orographic modification of Pacific Ocean storms. We simulate kilomet...

Equilibrium-Line Altitudes of Late Quaternary Glaciers in the Zardkuh Mountain, Iran

Equilibrium-line altitudes (ELAs) of former glaciers in the Zardkuh Mountain of the Zagros Mountain Range were reconstructed from glacial-geologic data on former ice limits by using various methods. In the study area various types of glacial landforms such as outwash fans, moraines and well developed glacial cirques are observed. The results suggest that ELA were depressed 1433 m below to prese...

Equilibrium-line altitudes during the Last Glacial Maximum across the Brooks Range, Alaska

ABSTRACT: Equilibrium-line altitudes (ELAs) were estimated for 383 reconstructed glaciers across the Brooks Range, northern Alaska, to investigate their regional pattern during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Glacier outlines were delimited based on published field mapping and the original interpretations of aerial photographs. Glacier margins were digitised from 1:63 360-scale maps into a geog...
