The Late Holocene fossil pollen records from the Zemu glacier, located in Yabuk, North Sikkim, eastern Himalayas, effectively generated quantitative climate reconstructions based on transfer function model. model was developed by establishing a modern pollen–climate calibration set temperate alpine belt of Sikkim. A redundancy analysis carried out to detect pattern variation climatic variables ...

The term ‘Little Ice Age’ (LIA) is classically used to define a period of repeated and extensive glacier advances during the last millennium. In meanwhile, this also address relatively low temperatures between Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA), or Warm Period, present-day warming. end LIA generally set mid late 1800s CE, however, published onset dates are more variable from 1200s 1500s. At Mont Mi...

Sharp-crested moraines, up to 120 m high and 9 km beyond Little Ice Age glacier limits, record a late Pleistocene advance of alpine glaciers in the Finlay River area in northern British Columbia. The moraines are regional in extent and record climatic deterioration near the end of the last glaciation. Several lateral moraines are crosscut by meltwater channels that record downwasting of trunk v...

A reconstruction of the last 2,000 years BP environmental and oceanographic changes on western margin Spitsbergen was performed using a multidisciplinary approach including fossil assemblages diatoms, planktic benthic foraminifera calcareous nannofossils use geochemistry (X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction). We identified two warm periods (2,000–1,600 1,300–700 BP) that were ass...

[1] During the last glacial period atmospheric carbon dioxide and temperature in Antarctica varied in a similar fashion on millennial time scales, but previous work indicates that these changes were gradual. In a detailed analysis of one event we now find that approximately half of the CO2 increase that occurred during the 1500-year cold period between Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) events 8 and 9 hap...
