The exact spatial and temporal behaviour of rapid climate shifts during the Last Glacial–Interglacial Transition are still not entirely understood. In order to investigate these events, it is necessary have detailed palaeoenvironmental reconstructions at geographically spread study sites combined with reliable correlations between them. Tephrochronology, i.e., using volcanic ash deposits in geo...

The Late Pleistocene to Holocene transition in the Northern Hemisphere was characterized by abrupt millennial-scale climatic changes testified Alpine Chain proxy records derived from glacial landforms and deposits. A detailed reconstruction of paleo-glaciers during deposition pre-Little Ice Age (LIA) moraines newly obtained 10 Be exposure ages provide information on timing a glacier advance Gra...
