Multiple tropical Andean glaciations during a period of late Pliocene warmth
The extent and behaviour of glaciers during the mid-Piacenzian warm period illustrate the sensitivity of the cryosphere to atmospheric CO2 concentrations above pre-industrial levels. Knowledge of glaciation during this period is restricted to globally or regionally averaged records from marine sediments and to sparse terrestrial glacial deposits in mid-to-high latitudes. Here we expand the Plio...
متن کاملNew Zealand maritime glaciation: millennial-scale southern climate change since 3.9 Ma.
Ocean Drilling Program Site 1119 is ideally located to intercept discharges of sediment from the mid-latitude glaciers of the New Zealand Southern Alps. The natural gamma ray signal from the site's sediment core contains a history of the South Island mountain ice cap since 3.9 million years ago (Ma). The younger record, to 0.37 Ma, resembles the climatic history of Antarctica as manifested by t...
متن کاملSeven million years of glaciation in greenland.
Glacial till, glaciomarine diamictites, and ice-rafted detritus found in marine cores collected off the shore of southeast Greenland record multiple Late Cenozoic glaciations beginning in the Late Miocene. Distinct rock assemblages and seismic stratigraphic control correlate the diamictites with glaciation of the southeast Greenland margin. Glaciers advanced to the sea during several intervals ...
متن کاملMiocene-Pliocene-Pleistocene Glacial History of Arena Valley, Quartermain Mountains, Antarctica
An 40Ar/39Ar chronology of in-situ to near insitu volcanic ashfall deposits indicates that the surficial stratigraphy of Arena Valley extends back at least to middleMiocene time. Wet-based glacial ice occupied part of Arena Valley more than 11.3 Ma ago. Thick, northeast-flowing ice subsequently engulfed Arena Valley, again more than 11.3 Ma ago. Only minor glacier expansion occurred during Plio...
متن کاملThe extent and chronology of Cenozoic Global Glaciation
The Quaternary is synonymous with extensive glaciation of Earth’s midand high-latitudes. Although there were local precursors, significant glaciation began in the latest Eocene (ca 35Ma) in eastern Antarctica. It was followed by glaciation in mountain areas through the Miocene (in Alaska, Greenland, Iceland and Patagonia), later in the Pliocene (e.g. in the Bolivian Andes and possibly in Tasman...
