• Early maximum extent of paleoglaciers from Mediterranean mountains during the last glaciation
    with R. M. Carrasco, J. Pedraza, H. Cheng, R. L. Edwards, and J. K. Willenbring
    Mountain glaciers respond directly to changes in precipitation and temperature, thus their margin extent is a high-sensitivity climate proxy. Here, we present a robust Be chronology for the glacier maximum areal extent of central Spain paleoglaciers dated at 26.1 ± 1.3 ka BP. These glaciers reached their maximum extent several thousand years earlier than those from central Europe due to the increased precipitation within a cold period between 25 to 29 ka BP, as confirmed by a local speleothem re…Read more
