Abstract: The Kerguelen Archipelago (49°S, 69°E) is an excellent location for the study of multi-millennial glacier fluctuations, since it is the largest still glaciated emerged area (552 km2 in 2001) in the sub-Antarctic sector of the Indian Ocean, where many glacio-geomorphological formations such as moraines may be dated. To investigate the so-far little-known Late Glacial and the Holocene glacier fluctuations in Kerguelen, we apply cosmogenic nuclide dating of moraines in 3 glacial valleys: Val Travers valley, Ampere glacier valley and Arago glacier valley. We use in situ 36Cl dating of the basaltic moraine boulders at the first two sites, and 10Be dating of the quartz-bearing syenite boulders at the third site. The new 36Cl and 10Be exposure ages provide time constraints over the last 17,000 years. A glacial advance was highlighted during the Late Glacial at 14.4 ± 1.4 ka ago, probably linked to the Antarctic Cold Reversal event. These results are consistent with those previously obtained on the archipelago (Jomelli et al., 2017, 2018; Charton et al., 2020) and more generally those from other the sub-Antarctic regions (e.g. Sagredo et al., 2018). This suggests that all glaciers at this latitude were broadly sensitive to this specific climatic signal. No Early nor Mid Holocene advances were evidenced in Kerguelen glacier evolution during the Holocene due to missing moraines that may have formed in these specific periods. Radiocarbon-dated peat, published in the 1990s, provides evidence of less extensive glacier extents during the Early Holocene than during the Late Holocene (Frenot et al., 1997). Finally, glaciers seem to have re-advanced only during the Late Holocene, especially within the last millennium, at ⁓1 ka, ⁓620 years and ⁓390 years (Verfaillie et al., submitted). A comparison of this new dataset with the available 10Be ages from other sub-Antarctic regions allows for the identification of 3 different glacier evolution patterns during the Holocene. The glacial fluctuations experienced by Kerguelen glaciers seems particularly uncommon, and are likely due to its singular location in the Southern Indian Ocean. Finally, climatic factors that may explain the Kerguelen glacier evolution (temperature, precipitation) are discussed. To this end, we investigate the chronology of glacier advance/retreat periods with (i) the variation in atmospheric temperatures recorded in ice cores in Antarctica and (ii) the variation in precipitation (Southern Westerly Winds, Southern Annular Mode).Charton et al., 2020 : Ant.

Abstract: The Cook Ice Cap (CIC) on the sub-Antarctic Kerguelen Islands recently experienced extremely negative surface mass balance. Further deglaciation could have important impacts on endemic and invasive fauna and flora. To put this exceptional glacier evolution into a multi-centennial-scale context, we refined the evolution of the CIC over the last millennium, investigated the associated climate conditions and explored its potential evolution by 2100 ce. A glaciological model, constrained by cosmic ray exposure dating of moraines, historical documents and recent direct mass balance observations, was used to simulate the ice-cap extents during different phases of advance and retreat between the last millennium and 2100 ce. Cosmogenic dating suggests glacial advance around the early Little Ice Age (LIA), consistent with findings from other sub-Antarctic studies, and the rather cold and humid conditions brought about by the negative phase of the Southern Annular Mode (SAM). This study contributes to our currently limited understanding of palaeoclimate for the early LIA in the southern Indian Ocean. Glaciological modelling and observations confirm the recent decrease in CIC extent linked to the intensification of the SAM. Although affected by large uncertainties, future simulations suggest a complete disappearance of CIC by the end of the century.

Abstract: Terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide dating of ice-marginal moraines can provide unique insights into Quaternary glacial history. However, pre- and post-depositional exposure histories of moraine boulders can introduce geologic uncertainty to numerical landform ages. To avoid geologic outliers, boulders are typically selected based on their depositional context and individual characteristics but while these criteria have good qualitative reasoning, many have not been tested quantitatively. Of these, boulder location is critical, as boulders located on moraine crests are prioritised, while those on moraine slopes are typically rejected. This study provides the first quantitative assessment of the relative utility of moraine crest and moraine slope sampling using new and published 10Be and 36Cl ages (n = 19) and Schmidt hammer sampling (SH; n = 635 moraine boulders, ∼19,050 SH R-values) in the northern and southern Pyrenees. These data show that for many of the studied moraines, the spatial distribution of “good” boulders is effectively random, with no consistent clustering on moraine crests, ice-proximal or -distal slopes. In turn, and in contrast to prior work, there is no clear penalty to either moraine crest or moraine slope sampling. Instead, we argue that landform stability exerts a greater influence on exposure age distributions than the characteristics of individual boulders. For the studied landforms, post-depositional stability is strongly influenced by sedimentology, with prolonged degradation of matrix-rich unconsolidated moraines while boulder-rich, matrix-poor moraines stabilised rapidly after deposition. While this pattern is unlikely to hold true in all settings, these data indicate that differences between landforms can be more significant than differences at the intra-landform scale. As ad hoc assessment of landform stability is extremely challenging based on geomorphological evidence alone, preliminary SH sampling, as utilised here, is a useful method to assess the temporal distribution of boulder exposure ages and to prioritise individual boulders for subsequent analysis.

6. LOCAL RECORDS OF FORMER ICE-SHEET MARGINS: GEOMORPHOLOGICAL DYNAMICS AND SEA-LEVEL EVOLUTION IN THE NAIN ARCHIPELAGO (LABRADOR, ATLANTIC CANADA)

Abstract: Nain archipelago (Labrador, Canada) is located along the eastern edge of the former Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS). The geomorphological dynamics during deglaciation stand at the confluence of eustatic, isostatic and topographic driving factors. Following the post-glacial marine transgression, glacio-isostatic adjustment led to the formation of successive raised marine beaches and deltas in addition to other formations.Our approach consists in developing a multiscale analysis that includes: 1) geomorphological mapping and morphometrical analysis based on satellite imagery derived DEM and bathymetry to document the history of the archipelago in larger context and 2) local studies, to compare and relate the dynamics of multiple independent toposequences, based on sequential stratigraphy and cross-dating methods(cosmonuclides, OSL, 14C) along two E/W and N/S transects.Several types of submarine and inland moraines (De Geer, ribbed, frontal moraine), glacial lineation, and quaternary surficial deposits have been mapped. Submarine glacial valleys in outer structural troughs associated with a palaeo-grounding line (-200 m) and a concomitant lateral extension limit of till cover on shoal have also been identified. On South Aulatsivik Island, a stratigraphic section revealed a deglacial sequence of glacio-marine rythmites at the outlet of a kettle-like lake embedded between two former grounding lines, deposited between 9438 and 9244 cal. BP at +35 m, while the marine limit was observed uphill at +76 m.The orientation of the lineation and the moraine suggests diverging glacial flows at the outlet of the Fraser River fjord during the glacial maximum and a possible topographic obstacle on Dog Island. The presence of important frontal moraines parallel from the continent suggests a stillstand during deglaciation. The availability of glacio-fluvial sedimentary stocks, the persistence of stagnant-ice masses and delayed deglaciation seems to have controlled the local configuration of raised beaches, along withshore-specific dynamics. The reconstruction of former shorelines and sea-level evolution will ultimately allow us to discuss the potential role of post-glacial tilting and neotectonics and will form the basis of a geoarchaeological framework for the analysis of prehistoric settlement patterns.

Abstract: International audience; The paper presents a method for the selection of large erratics to be sampled for terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating (TCNED) in areas previously covered by Pleistocene ice sheets. Our approach is based on (1) a GIS analysis of an extensive dataset of erratics, (2) field inspection of pre-selected boulders and (3) Schmidt hammer (SH) testing of erratics selected for sampling. An initial database of 491 erratic boulders in NW Poland was filtered using a GIS software, based on their characteristics, digital elevation and surface geology. The secondary data set of pre-selected erratics consisted of 135 boulders \textendash i.e. proper targets for field inspection. Ground-truthing in the field resulted in the final selection of 63 boulders suitable for sampling for TCNED. These erratics are located on moraine plateaux and hills formed during the Saalian glaciation (Marine Isotope Stage 6) as well as Leszno/Brandenburg, Poznań/Frankfurt and Pomeranian Phase ice marginal belts from the Weichselian glaciation (Marine Isotope Stage 2). The GIS desk-based analysis of erratics properties resulted in a 73% reduction of the initial dataset, which demonstrates the added value of this selection technique. The field inspection of pre-selected boulders resulted in a 53% reduction of the number of boulders suitable for TCNED. SH testing of the sampled erratics provided a quantitative proxy of their surface hardness. This allowed the quantification of their weathering degree and identification of erratics potentially affected by postglacial erosion. Our systematic approach to selecting erratics and their SH testing could be a useful tool for other researchers facing the problem of choosing appropriate erratics for TCNED in areas of continental Pleistocene glaciations.

Abstract: International audience; Recent synoptic studies have summarized the former spatial extent and chronology of the last Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) and provide exceptional compilations of empirical datasets. The latter represent the primary source of information for the modelling community to test and develop thermomechanical ice sheet model, which are then further embedded into climatic and general circulation models. The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) extent and chronology of the SIS across continental Europe were highlighted as being the least well-known thus generating the biggest uncertainties in the reconstruction of the ice sheet. While early geomorphological studies of the ice sheet marginal belts are numerous and detailed in western Russia, geochronological data are virtually inexistent. In an attempt to fill in this gap, we conducted a series of sampling campaigns for surface exposure dating using 10Be in the western and northwestern regions of Russia. We present here the first results from the Valday Heights where glacial deposits constitute well-preserved margins of the SIS. A total of 16 samples firmly establish the timing of the LGM in the Valday Heights at 20.1 ± 0.4 ka. The Valday Heights acted as a natural wall for the last maximum advance of the SIS during MIS2, constraining the eastern flank of the Ladoga-Ilmen-Lovat ice stream to the west of the hills. The Valday Heights were only overran by previously more extensive glacial advances as suggested by older exposure ages obtain on erratic boulders (31.2 ± 1.4 to 47.1 ± 1.5 ka) located east of the LGM limit.

Abstract: Deglaciation chronology of the Polish High Tatra Mountains has been reconstructed based on 10Be exposure age dating. Fifty-seven rock samples were collected from boulders located on the terminal and lateral moraines that limit the horizontal extent of the LGM and the Lateglacial glaciers in the Biala Woda and Sucha Woda catchments. The uncertainty-weighted mean age of 21.5 ± 2.5 ka obtained for the maximum terminal moraine in the Sucha Woda Valley indicates that the oldest preserved moraines were formed during the global LGM. The age population ranges between 15.1 ± 1.0 and 28.3 ± 2.0 ka, and suggests that glaciers reached their maximum position (LGM I) as early as 28–25 ka and the final stabilization of the form occurred much later possibly after melting of buried dead ice. The younger glacial oscillation (LGM II) occurred no later than 20.5 ka and is represented by well-preserved termino-lateral moraine systems in the Panszczyca Valley. The first Lateglacial stage (LG1) in the study area is documented in the Rybi Potok Valley at the RP1 moraine (1300 m a.s.l.), which was stable at around 16.6 ± 0.3 ka. The younger LG2 stage has no defined absolute age, however, it is constrained between 16.5 and 15.5 ka by the timing of the LG3 stage. This cold event is represented by well-formed moraines in the Roztoka/Piec Stawow Polskich, Rybi Potok and Panszczyca valleys of which exposure age indicates their deposition between 15.0 ± 0.5 and 15.6 ± 0.1 ka. The LG1, LG2 and LG3 stages likely occurred during the Oldest Dryas cold stage (Greenland Stadial 2.1a) related to the North Atlantic cooling Heinrich Event 1. The youngest glacial oscillation is evidenced by moraines in the Pusta and Panszczyca valleys. These moraines are composed of very large granitic blocks of which exposure ages often exhibit isotope inheritance. This is reflected by the youngest P3 moraine in the Panszczyca Valley with a mean age of deposition close to the LGM. The R4 moraine system in the Pusta Valley, however, indicates two oscillations phases that occurred at around 13 ka and correlates well with the timing of RP5 moraine formation in the Za Mnichem Valley. The LG4 stage is related to the climate cooling during the Younger Dryas (Greenland Stadial 1). LGM ELAs reconstructed for the Biala Woda and Sucha Woda/Panszczyca glaciers were located at 1460–1480 m a.s.l. During the Oldest Dryas stages, the ELA in the High Tatras rose from 1600 to 1650 m a.s.l. in the Rybi Potok Valley and from 1700 to 1800 m a.s.l. in the Roztoka/Piec Stawow Polskich Valley. The Younger Dryas ELA, depending on glacier's exposition, was located between 1950 and 2000 m a.s.l. Climate modelling results show that the LGM glaciers (maximum advance) could have advanced in the High Tatras when the mean annual temperature was lower than today by 11–12 °C and precipitation was reduced by 40–60%. During the Lateglacial stages the temperature decrease in the study area changed from 10 °C during the Oldest Dryas to 6 °C during the Younger Dryas and precipitation lowering decreased from −50% to −30% or even −10%, respectively compare to modern conditions.

Abstract: International audience; Documenting sub-Antarctic glacier variations during the local last glacial maximum is of major interest to better understand their sensitivity to atmospheric and oceanic temperature changes in conjunction with Antarctic ice sheet changes. However, data are sparse because evidence of earlier glacier extents is for most sub-Antarctic islands located offshore making their observation complex. Here, we present 22 cosmogenic 36Cl surface exposure ages obtained from five sites at Kerguelen to document the glacial history. The 36Cl ages from roche moutonnee surfaces, erratics and boulders collected on moraines span from 41.9 ± 4.4 ka to 14.3 ± 1.1 ka. Ice began to retreat on the eastern part of the main island before 41.4 ± 4.4 ka. Slow deglaciation occurred from ∼41 to ∼29 ka. There is no evidence of advances between 29 ka and the Antarctic Cold Reversal (ACR) period (∼14.5–12.9 ka) period. During the ACR, however, the Bontemps and possibly Belvedere moraines were formed by the advance of a Cook Ice Cap outlet glacier and a local glacier on the Presque Ile Jeanne d’Arc, respectively. This glacier evolution differs partly from that of glaciers in New Zealand and in Patagonia. These asynchronous glacier changes in the sub-Antarctic region are however in agreement with sea surface temperature changes recorded around Antarctica, which suggest differences in the climate evolution of the Indo-Pacific and Atlantic sectors of Antarctica.

Abstract: International audience; Numerous cases of timing differences between glacier advances recorded in mountain environments have been documented over the last decade, usually suggesting potential age conflicts between the different dating techniques. The frequent use of a single technique to date numerically a given glacial sequence makes it difficult to address to what extent age differences can be an artifact related to biased numerical age results or a paleoclimate signature. Here we present a new set of 43 numerical ages based on three dating techniques -Be-10 surface exposure dating; radiocarbon; and optically stimulated luminescence-that complement the chronology of Pleistocene glacial advances in the Porma valley, in the central Cantabrian Mountains of Spain. Results compliment previous chronologies in the area, supporting an important glacial advance during Marine Isotope Stage 3 (Stage Ila: similar to 56 ka) that culminated with the Last Glacial Maximum advance (Stage llb: similar to 33-24 ka) of MIS 2 in response to increased rainfall and solar insolation minima. Glacier fronts reached elevations as low as 1130 m a.s.l. possibly without overriding evidence related to the previous Pleistocene glacial maximum extent. Glacier recession in the Cantabrian Mountains started at 21-20 ka ago, after the global LGM. We suggest that the recession was initiated by increased insolation followed by hyper-cool and dry conditions during Heinrich Stadial 1 in response to meltwater discharges in the North Atlantic.

Abstract: The Last Glacial Termination led to major changes in ice sheet coverage that disrupted global patterns of atmosphere and ocean circulation. Paleoclimate records from Iberia suggest that westerly episodes played a key role in driving heterogeneous climate in the North Atlantic Region. We used 10Be Cosmic Ray Exposure (CRE) dating to explore the glacier response of small mountain glaciers (ca. 5 km2) that developed on the northern slope of the Cantabrian Mountains (Iberian Peninsula), an area directly under the influence of the Atlantic westerly winds. We analyzed twenty boulders from three moraines and one rock glacier arranged as a recessional sequence preserved between 1150 and 1540 m above sea level (a.s.l.) in the Monasterio valley (Redes Natural Park). Results complement previous chronologic data based on radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence from the Monasterio valley, which suggest a local Glacial Maximum (local GM) prior to 33 ka BP and a long-standing glacier advance at 24 ka coeval to the global Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Resultant 10Be CRE ages suggest a progressive retreat and thinning of the Monasterio glacier over the time interval 18.1–16.7 ka. This response is coeval with the Heinrich Stadial 1, an extremely cold and dry climate episode initiated by a weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Glacier recession continued through the Bolling/Allerod period as indicate the minimum exposure ages obtained from a cirque moraine and a rock glacier nested within this moraine, which yielded ages of 14.0 and 13.0 ka, respectively. Together, they suggest that the Monasterio glacier experienced a gradual transition from glacier to rock glacier activity as the AMOC started to strengthen again. Glacial evidence ascribable to the Younger Dryas cooling was not dated in the Monasterio valley, but might have occurred at higher elevations than evidence dated in this work. The evolution of former glaciers documented in the Monasterio valley seems consistent with previous 10Be chronologies reported in other mountain ranges of the Iberian Peninsula, which have been recalculated according to a common production rate and scaling scheme. However, the re-evaluation of published 10Be chronologies has highlighted the fact that glacial evidence previously ascribed to the Younger Dryas might be more limited than previously thought and the need for additional studies to characterized the extent of glaciers during the Younger Dryas cooling.

13. Freshwater influx, hydrographic reorganization and the dispersal of ice-rafted detritus in the sub-polar North Atlantic Ocean during the last deglaciation

Abstract: A sediment core from the north-east North Atlantic contains high-resolution co-registered foraminiferal δ18O and ice-rafted detritus (IRD) records for the last deglaciation. These reveal a distinct ice-rafting event that occurred at the time of Greenland Interstade 1d (GI-1d), a feature also seen in other high-resolution cores from the North Atlantic. The occurrence of a geographically widespread peak in IRD at ice distal sites at a time when increased freshwater flux to the surface ocean is inferred to have caused rapid cooling suggests a mechanistic link between the processes, analogous to the Younger Dryas (GS-1) cooling episode. The general absence of IRD at southern locations at other times during GI-1 when the flux of icebergs from surviving ice sheets to northern locations continued suggests that the GI-1d IRD peak represents a time of hyrdrographic reorganization which changed IRD dispersal. While numerous studies have suggested freshwater flux as a major driver of rapid climate oscillations observed around the North Atlantic during the last deglaciation, the evidence presented here both supports that mechanism and highlights the potential for rapid and major reorganization of the North Atlantic's surface hydrography to explain changes in IRD flux independently of ice sheet calving dynamics.

14. Deglaciation chronology of the Galloway Hills Ice Centre, southwest Scotland

Abstract: During the last glacial maximum, the Galloway Hills in southwest Scotland acted as a major centre of ice dispersion within the last British–Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS). Six new or recalibrated 10Be exposure ages for samples obtained from boulders near the former ice divide yielded uncertainty-weighted mean ages of 15.15 ± 0.72 ka (Lm scaling), or 15.33 ± 0.74 ka (Du scaling). These ages indicate that the former ice dome centred over the Galloway Hills had almost (or completely) disappeared by ca. 15 ka, imply prior deglaciation of all of southwest Scotland and refute suggestions that ice cover persisted in this area during the Lateglacial Interstade. They strongly support recent models advocating extensive deglaciation of all areas occupied by the last BIIS (apart from the Scottish Highlands) prior to warming at the onset of the Lateglacial Interstade (ca. 14.7 ka). Three samples obtained from boulders on a large latero-terminal moraine (Tauchers moraine) near the former ice divide yielded a weighted mean age of 11.91 ± 0.77 ka (Lm scaling) or 12.01 ± 0.78 ka (Du scaling), confirming that the moraine is of Loch Lomond (Younger Dryas) Stadial age, and suggesting that the moraine was deposited 200–500 years before the end of the stade.

Abstract: International audience; Similar to many other regions in the world, glaciers in the southern sub-polar regions are currently retreating. In the Kerguelen Islands (49°S, 69°E), the mass balance of the Cook Ice Cap (CIC), the largest ice cap in the region, experimented dramatic shrinking between 1960 and 2013 with retreat rates among the highest in the world. This observation needs to be evaluated in a long-term context. However, data on the past glacier extents are sparse in the sub-Antartic regions. To investigate the deglaciation pattern since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) period, we present the first 13 cosmogenic 36Cl surface exposure ages from four sites in the Kerguelen Islands. The 36Cl ages from erratic and moraine boulders span from 24.4±2.7 ka to 0.3±0.1 ka. We combined these ages with extisting glacio-marine radiocarbon ages and bathymetric data to document the temporal and spatial changes of the island's glacial history. Ice began to retreat on the main island before 24.4±2.7 ka until around the time of the Antartic Cold Reversal (ACR) period (-14.5-12.9 ka), during which the Bontemps moraine was formed by the advance of a CIC outlet glacier. Deglacication continued during the Holocene probably until 3 ka with evidence of miror advances during the last millennium. This chronology is in pace with majeor changes in the ᵟ18O in a recent West Antartica ice core record, showing that Kerguelen Islands glaciers are particularly sensitive and relevant to document climate change in the southern polar regions.

Abstract: Cosmic-ray exposure (CRE) dating of moraines allow glacier fluctuations and past climate change reconstructions. In the French Alps, there is a lack of moraine dating for the Late Glacial/Holocene transition period. Here we present a chronology of glacier advances in the Upper Romanche valley (French Alps – Massif des Ecrins) based on 10 Be CRE dating. CRE ages of moraines of 13.0 ± 1.1 ka and 12.4 ± 1.5 ka provide evidence for two stages of glacial advance or standstill at the end of the Late Glacial. The CRE dating of a rock avalanche deposit at 12.2 ± 1.5 ka is attributed to post-glacial debuttressing and reveals rapid deglaciation at the end of the Late Glacial. A CRE age of 7.1 ± 0.7 ka of a second mass-wasting, whose triggering factor is unidentified so far, indicates that up to an altitude of 2300 m a.s.l., the valley was ice-free as of ∼7 kyr at the latest. The re-evaluation of 21 moraine 10 Be CRE ages from nine glacial valleys across the Alps shows multiple glacial advances occurring at the Late Glacial/Holocene transition. These results lead to a re-evaluation of the importance of cooling events during the Allerod and the Younger Dryas in the Alps.

Abstract: This study was funded by IPEV-1048 GLACIOCLIM-KESAACO and LEFE-INSU KCRuMBLE programs, and the Agence Nationale de la Recherche through contract ANR-14-CE01-0001-01 (ASUMA). The ongoing retreat of glaciers at southern sub-polar latitudes is particularly rapid and widespread. Akin to northern sub-polar latitudes, this retreat is generally assumed to be linked to warming. However, no long-term and well-constrained glacier modeling has ever been performed to confirm this hypothesis. Here, we model the Cook Ice Cap mass balance on the Kerguelen Islands (Southern Indian Ocean, 49°S) since the 1850s. We show that glacier wastage during the 2000s in the Kerguelen was among the most dramatic on Earth. We attribute 77% of the increasingly negative mass balance since the 1960s to atmospheric drying associated with a poleward shift of the mid-latitude storm track. Because precipitation modeling is very challenging for the current generation of climate models over the study area, models incorrectly simulate the climate drivers behind the recent glacier wastage in the Kerguelen. This suggests that future glacier wastage projections should be considered cautiously where changes in atmospheric circulation are expected. Publisher PDF

Abstract: The last deglaciation of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) from ∼ 21 , 000 to 13,000 yr ago is well-constrained by several hundred 10Be and 14C ages. The subsequent retreat history, however, is established primarily from minimum-limiting 14C ages and incomplete Baltic-Sea varve records, leaving a substantial fraction of final SIS retreat history poorly constrained. Here we develop a high-resolution chronology for the final deglaciation of the SIS based on 79 10Be cosmogenic exposure dates sampled along three transects spanning southern to northern Sweden and Finland. Combining this new chronology with existing 10Be ages on deglaciation since the Last Glacial Maximum shows that rates of SIS margin retreat were strongly influenced by deglacial millennial-scale climate variability and its effect on surface mass balance, with regional modulation of retreat associated with dynamical controls. Ice-volume estimates constrained by our new chronology suggest that the SIS contributed ∼ 8 m sea-level equivalent to global sea-level rise between ∼14.5 ka and 10 ka. Final deglaciation was largely complete by ∼10.5 ka, with highest rates of sea-level rise occurring during the Bolling–Allerod, a 50% decrease during the Younger Dryas, and a rapid increase during the early Holocene. Combining our SIS volume estimates with estimated contributions from other remaining Northern Hemisphere ice sheets suggests that the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) contributed 14.4 ± 5.9 m to global sea-level rise since ∼13 ka. This new constraint supports those studies that indicate that an ice volume of 15 m or more of equivalent sea-level rise was lost from the AIS during the last deglaciation.

Abstract: Past glacial activity in the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains is characterized by cirques, glacial valleys and moraine ridges at altitudes between 1350 and 1850 m a.s.l. Although the geomorphology of this area was extensively studied, the deposition time of these glacial forms, and specifically the moraines was never determined. We surveyed and mapped the geomorphology of the Pozhezhevs’ka glacial Valley, which is part of the Charnogora Ridge. We used surface exposure dating and developed a data base of this area using remote sensing and Geographic Information System to understand the timing and nature of glacial event in the eastern Carpathian Mountains. Well-developed continuous lateral-frontal moraines cross the valley floor at ∼1400 m a.s.l. Ten sandstone boulders were sampled from one of these to determine the deposition time of the moraine. Samples were prepared at the Glasgow University Cosmogenic Nuclide Laboratory and analyzed at the SUERC AMS Laboratory. Surface exposure ages were calculated using the CRONUS-Earth online 10Be exposure age calculator. Our exposure ages for nine samples (UKR-2 to UKR-10) range from 11.0 ± 0.4 10Be ka to 14.5 ± 0.5 10Be ka. One sample (UKR-1) produced no current and thus no exposure age is available. The mean deposition time for the moraine ranges from 12.4 ± 0.3 to 12.9 ± 0.3 10Be ka, depending on choice of surface erosion and snow cover. These results provide the first direct indication, using surface exposure dating, of a possible glacier response in the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains to a cold event contemporary with the Younger Dryas (YD). Together with exposure ages from other mountain ranges across Europe, the new data provide direct chronological evidence for a widespread expression of the YD cold event outside the main ice margin limits left by the former Scandinavian Ice Sheet.

20. In situ cosmogenic exposure ages from the Isle of Skye, northwest Scotland: implications for the timing of deglaciation and readvance from 15 to 11 ka

Abstract: We present 10 in situ cosmogenic exposure ages from two moraines on the Isle of Skye. The Strollamus medial moraine was deposited during deglaciation of the Devensian ice sheet and yields a mean exposure age from five samples of 14.3 ± 0.9 ka. The moraine age indicates that a significant ice mass existed on Skye at the time of a regional readvance recorded in Wester Ross, northwest Scotland. Taken at face value the ages suggest that deglaciation did not occur until well into Greenland Interstade 1. The Slapin moraine represents the local limit of the Loch Lomond Readvance (LLR) and yields a mean exposure age from five samples of 11.5 ± 0.7 ka, which is consistent with deposition relating to the LLR. These ages suggest that the maximum extent may have been reached late in the stadial and that some glaciers may have remained active until after the climatic amelioration that marks its end. This scenario is considered unlikely given the nature of the climate during this period, which leads us to call for a locally calibrated production rate. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract: Rinterknecht, V. R., Marks, L., Piotrowski, J. A., Raisbeck, G. M., Yiou, F., Brook, E. J. & Clark, P. U. 2005 (May): Cosmogenic 10Be ages on the Pomeranian Moraine, Poland. Boreas, Vol. 34, pp. 186–191. Oslo. ISSN 0300–9483. We measured the 10Be concentrations in boulders collected from the Pomeranian Moraine in Poland, providing the first direct dating of the southern margin of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) in the Polish Lowland. The mean age of 8 10Be ages of the Pomeranian Moraine in northwestern Poland is 14.30.8 10Be ka, while in northeastern Poland the mean age of 19 10Be ages of the moraine is 15.00.5 10Be ka. Given the excellent agreement between the two age groups, we calculate a mean age of 14.80.4 10Be ka for final deposition of the Pomeranian Moraine of northern Poland. The age of the Pomeranian Moraine suggests that the southern margin of the SIS was near its maximum extent in Poland at a younger time than previously inferred, and that retreat from the moraine at 14.80.4 10Be ka probably occurred in response to the onset of the Bolling interstade.

Abstract: Deglaciation chronology of the Bystra catchment (Western Tatra Mountains) has been reconstructed based on 10Be exposure age dating. Fourteen rock samples were collected from boulders located on three moraines that limit the horizontal extent of the LGM maximum advance and the Lateglacial recessional stage. The oldest preserved, maximum moraine was dated at 15.5 ± 0.8 ka, an age that could be explained more likely by post-depositional erosion of the moraine. Such scenario is supported by geomorphologic and palaeoclimatological evidence. The younger cold stage is represented by well-preserved termino-lateral moraine systems in the Kondratowa and Sucha Kasprowa valleys. The distribution of the moraine ridges in both valleys suggest a complex history of deglaciation of the area. The first Late-glacial re-advance (LG1) was followed by a cold oscillation (LG2), that occurred at around 14.0 ± 0.7–13.7 ± 1.2 ka. Glaciers during both stages had nearly the same horizontal extent, however, their thickness and geometry changed significantly, mainly due to local climatic conditions triggered by topography, controlling the exposition to solar radiation. The LG1 stage occurred probably during the pre-Bolling cold stage (Greenland Stadial 2.1a), however, the LG2 stage can be correlated with the cooling at around 14 ka during the Greenland Interstadial 1 (GI-1d – Older Dryas). This is the first chronological evidence of the Older Dryas in the Tatra Mountains. The ELA of the maximum Bystra glacier was located at 1480 m a.s.l. in accordance with the ELA in the High Tatra Mountains during the LGM. During the LG1 and LG2 stages, the ELA in the catchment rose up to 1520–1530 m a.s.l. and was located approximately 100–150 m lower than in the eastern part of the massif. Climate modelling results show that the Bystra glacier (maximum advance) could have advanced in the catchment when mean annual temperature was lower than today by 11–12 °C and precipitation was reduced by 40–60%. This is in accordance with LGM conditions previously reported for the High Tatras. During the LG1 and LG2 stages the temperature decrease in the study area reached 10 °C and precipitation was lower by ∼30% compare to modern conditions. This resulted in slightly higher accumulation (20–30%) in the Western Tatra Mountains compare to the High Tatra Mountains.

Abstract: We measured 10Be concentrations in boulders collected from the Orsha and Braslav moraines, associated with the Last Glacial Maximum extent and a recessional stage of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS), respectively, providing a direct dating of the southeastern sector of the ice-sheet margin in Belarus. By combining these data with selected existing radiocarbon ages, we developed a chronology for the last deglaciation of Belarus. The northeastern part of the country remained ice free until at least 19.2±0.2 cal. kyr BP, whereas the northwestern part of the country was ice free until 22.3±1.5 cal. kyr BP. A lobate ice margin subsequently advanced to its maximum extent and deposited the Orsha Moraine. The ice margin retreated from this moraine at 17.7±2.0 10Be kyr to a position in the northern part of the country, where it deposited the Braslav Moraine. Subsequent ice-margin retreat from that moraine at 13.1±0.5 10Be kyr represented the final deglaciation of Belarus. Direct dating of these moraines better constrains the relation of ice-margin positions in Belarus to those in adjacent countries as well as the SIS response to climate change.

Abstract: Date of Acceptance: 28/02/2015 The retreat of glaciers in the Kerguelen Islands (49°S, 69°E) and their associated climatic causes have been analyzed using field data and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite images to validate a positive degree-day (PDD) model forced by data from local meteorological stations. Mass balance measurements made during recent field campaigns on the largest glacier of the Cook Ice Cap were compared to data from the early 1970s, providing a 40 year view of the differences in the spatial distribution of surface mass balance (SMB). To obtain additional regional data for the validation of our models, we analyzed MODIS images (2000-2012) to determine if our model was capable of reproducing variations in the transient snow line. The PDD model correctly simulated the variations in the snow line, the spatial variations in the SMB, and its trend with elevation. Yet current SMB values diverge from their classic linear representation with elevation, and stake data at high altitudes now display more negative SMB values than expected. By analyzing MODIS albedo, we observed that these values are caused by the disappearance of snow and associated feedback on melt rates. In addition, certain parts of Ampere Glacier could not be reproduced by the surface energy balance model because of overaccumulation due to wind deposition. Finally, the MODIS data, field data, and our models suggest that the acceleration of glacier wastage in Kerguelen is due to reduced net accumulation and an associated rise in the snow line since the 1970s.

Abstract: We determined in situ cosmogenic 10Be ages for nine boulders sampled on the Salpausselka I (Ss I) Moraine. Previous dating of this moraine indicated that it formed during the Younger Dryas Stadial along the southern margin of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in southern Finland. Our new exposure ages range from 10.9±1.0 to 13.5±1.2 10Be ka, with an error-weighted mean age of 12.4±0.7 10Be ka. Our results confirm four previous 10Be ages obtained 40 km northeast of our sample location. The combined data ( n = 13 ) indicate that retreat from the Ss I Moraine occurred at 12.5±0.7 10Be ka, in excellent agreement with an age of 12.1 ka for retreat from the Ss I Moraine based on varve chronologies. These results identify the Ss I Moraine as among the best-dated margins associated with Late Quaternary ice sheets.

Abstract: A moraine chronology determined by surface exposure dating shows that glaciers in the northern tropical Andes expanded to a larger extent during the Antarctic cold reversal (14,500 to 12,900 years ago) than during the Younger Dryas stadial (12,800 to 11,500 years ago), contrary to previous studies; as a result, previous chronologies and climate interpretations from tropical glaciers may need to be revisited. The Younger Dryas was a cold period immediately prior to the present warm interglacial period. There is clear evidence that it occurred throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere, but its global extent remains debatable. Prior work in the tropical Andes suggested extensive glacial advances during the Younger Dryas. Vincent Favier and colleagues present new cosmogenic dating of glacial deposits — and a reassessment of existing datasets from other glaciated Andean landscapes — to show that instead, maximal glacial advances took place in the preceding Antarctic cold reversal. Rather than a major advance, the Younger Dryas now appears to have been associated with modest glacial retreat. The Younger Dryas stadial, a cold event spanning 12,800 to 11,500 years ago, during the last deglaciation, is thought to coincide with the last major glacial re-advance in the tropical Andes1. This interpretation relies mainly on cosmic-ray exposure dating of glacial deposits. Recent studies, however, have established new production rates2,3,4 for cosmogenic 10Be and 3He, which make it necessary to update all chronologies in this region1,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 and revise our understanding of cryospheric responses to climate variability. Here we present a new 10Be moraine chronology in Colombia showing that glaciers in the northern tropical Andes expanded to a larger extent during the Antarctic cold reversal (14,500 to 12,900 years ago) than during the Younger Dryas. On the basis of a homogenized chronology of all 10Be and 3He moraine ages across the tropical Andes, we show that this behaviour was common to the northern and southern tropical Andes. Transient simulations with a coupled global climate model suggest that the common glacier behaviour was the result of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation variability superimposed on a deglacial increase in the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. During the Antarctic cold reversal, glaciers advanced primarily in response to cold sea surface temperatures over much of the Southern Hemisphere. During the Younger Dryas, however, northern tropical Andes glaciers retreated owing to abrupt regional warming in response to reduced precipitation and land–surface feedbacks triggered by a weakened Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. Conversely, glacier retreat during the Younger Dryas in the southern tropical Andes occurred as a result of progressive warming, probably influenced by an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Considered with evidence from mid-latitude Andean glaciers16, our results argue for a common glacier response to cold conditions in the Antarctic cold reversal exceeding that of the Younger Dryas.

Abstract: International audience; Past, present, and future ice sheet stability is closely linked to the dynamic behavior of major draining ice streams and surrounding ice shelves. While short observational records document the recent variability and acceleration of ice streams, the long-term dynamics of ice streams remain poorly documented. Here, we date the Pjetursson’s Moraine on Disko Island, Greenland, to 12.2 ± 0.6 ka and demonstrate that the Jakobshavn Isbræ (JI) ice stream collapsed during the middle of the Younger Dryas (YD) cold interval. We suggest that this collapse was due to the incursion of warm subsurface water under the ice shelf fronting the JI ice stream, as well as increased surface-air temperature and sea-surface temperature seasonality starting at the beginning of the YD cold interval. The triggered acceleration of the land-based JI and the delivery of icebergs into Disko Bugt potentially contributed to Heinrich Event 0 at the end of the YD. The collapse of the JI ice stream 12.2 ± 0.6 ka ago demonstrates that calving marine-based ice margins can respond rapidly to environmental changes. It provides a new benchmark for marine-terminating ice stream models.

Abstract: Understanding the provenance of ice-rafted debris (IRD) provides a means to link the behavior of individual ice sheets to proxy records of climate change. Here we present a new approach to determining IRD provenance using U-Pb geochronology of detrital minerals rutile and zircon. We characterize potential source regions from Scotland using detrital rutile from modern fluvial systems, and demonstrate that their unimodal rutile U-Pb ages reflect the timing of the last amphibolite facies metamorphism of the source rocks, imparting a distinctive source signature. Contrasts between these spectra and the bimodal IRD (ca. 470 Ma and ca. 1800–2000 Ma) rutile age signatures rule out Scotland as the sole source and suggest a Laurentian contribution; IRD zircon ages further support this view. U-Pb mineral dating has the potential to provide new insight on IRD provenance, because it allows linkage between IRD and individual source terranes based on their differing magmatic and tectonothermal histories. The occurrence of Laurentian-sourced IRD proximal to Scotland demonstrates widespread and rapid dispersal of debris across the subpolar North Atlantic during the Older Dryas cold oscillation, and implicates the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation as a control. This highlights the sensitivity of some IRD records to rapid climate change during the last deglaciation and supports the interpretation of Heinrich events as time-parallel marker horizons.

Abstract: We determined in situ cosmogenic 10 Be ages for 11 boulders on the Hoher Flaming ice marginal belt and five boulders on the Gerswalder moraine, a recessional moraine of the Pomeranian stage. Previous time estimations for the deposition of these moraines along the southern margin of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) in northeastern Germany are mostly based on geomorphology and stratigraphy, and on few radiocarbon dates and recently published surface exposure ages in the case of the Pomeranian moraine. Our new exposure ages range from 21.7 ± 1.2 10 Be ka to 172.6 ± 6.0 10 Be ka for the Hoher Flaming ice marginal belt. The wide range of exposure ages may reflect episodic ice marginal belt modification due to intensified erosion by meltwater channeled in the Baruther Urstromtal, (ice marginal valley) accompanied by long-lasting erosional processes like solifluction and aeolian deflation. For the Gerswalder moraine, our new exposure ages range from 12.3 ± 0.6 10 Be ka to 16.6 ± 1.0 10 Be ka. Excluding the youngest sample (BER-97-03), we calculated error-weighted mean ages ranging from 15.2 ± 0.5 10 Be ka to 16.0 ± 0.5 10 Be ka ( n = 4), depending on choice of scaling methods, surface erosion and snow cover. These results firmly establish the position of the southern margin of the SIS in northeastern Germany during the Gerswalder substage a recessional phase of the Pomeranian stage.

Abstract: The now acknowledged thinning of the Greenland Ice Sheet raises concerns about its potential contribution to future sea level rise. In order to appreciate the full extent of its contribution to sea level rise, reconstruction of the ice sheet's most recent last deglaciation could provide key information on the timing and the height of the ice sheet at a time of rapid climate readjustment. We measured 10Be concentrations in 12 samples collected along longitudinal and altitudinal transects from Sisimiut to within 10 km of the Isunguata Sermia Glacier ice margin on the western coast of Greenland. Along the longitudinal transect, we collected three perched boulders and two bedrocks. In addition, we sampled seven perched boulders along a vertical transect in a valley within 10 km of the Isunguata Sermia Glacier ice margin. Our pilot dataset constrains the height of the ice sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) between 500 m and 840 m (including the 120 m relative sea level depression at the time of the LGM, 21 ka BP). From the transect we estimate the thinning of the ice sheet at the end of the deglaciation between 12.3 ± 1.5 10Be ka (n = 2) and 8.3 ± 1.2 10Be ka (n = 3) to be ∼6 cm a−1 over this time period. Direct dating of the retreat of the western margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet has the potential to better constrain the retreat rate of the ice margin, the thickness of the former ice sheet as well as its response to climate change.

Abstract: Boulders from the Gruda Moraine, which is associated with the maximum extent of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) during the last glaciation, and the Baltija (also referred to as the South Lithuanian), the Middle and North Lithuanian moraines, which are associated with recessional stages of the SIS, were sampled for surface exposure dating using (10)Be. By combining these data with existing radiocarbon ages, we developed a chronology for the retreat of the SIS margin in Lithuania. Our new (10)Be ages suggest that the SIS margin began to retreat from its maximum extent at 18.3 +/- 0.8 (10)Be kyr. Based on a probable correlation of the Baltija Moraine with the Pomeranian Moraine in Poland, we infer that the Baltija Moraine was formed following a re-advance of the SIS margin. The ice margin retreated from the Baltija position at 14.0 +/- 0.4 (10)Be kyr. The SIS-margin retreat paused at least two more times to form the Middle Lithuanian Moraine at 13.5 +/- 0.6 (10)Be kyr and the North Lithuanian Moraine (tentatively correlated to the Pajuris Moraine) at 13.3 +/- 0.7 (10)Be kyr. Subsequent ice-margin retreat from the North Lithuanian Moraine represented the final deglaciation of Lithuania. Direct dating of these moraines better constrains the relation of ice-margin positions in Lithuania to those in adjacent countries as well as the SIS response to climate change.

Abstract: Meltwater drainage from glacial Lake Agassiz has been implicated for nearly 15 years as a trigger for thermohaline circulation changes producing the abrupt cold period known as the Younger Dryas. On the basis of initial field reconnaissance to the lake's proposed outlets, regional geomorphic mapping, and preliminary chronological data, an alternative hypothesis may be warranted. Should ongoing data collection continue to support preliminary results, it could be concluded that Lake Agassiz did not flood catastrophically into the Lake Superior basin preceding the Younger Dryas (Figure 1). All preliminary findings imply a retreating ice sheet margin approximately 1000 years younger than previously thought, which would have blocked key meltwater corridors at the start of the Younger Dryas.

Abstract: Northeastern Germany was repeatedly covered by the Scandinavian Ice Sheet during the last glaciation and a succession of distinct ice marginal belts is present in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. We used surface exposure dating to develop a time frame for the retreat of the ice margin. Two samples from the Saalian ice marginal belt give Weichselian ages, a problem that has also been encountered further south when attempting to date the same ice marginal belt (the Hoher Flaming) in Brandenburg. One sample from the Frankfurt moraine is too young to be associated with this glacial feature. Another single sample from the Velgast extent gives also an exposure age that is too young to be associated with this glacial feature. These two examples highlight the necessity to sample multiple boulders on the same feature to obtain a reliable exposure age. Fourteen samples were collected on the Pomeranian moraine and 12 were used to calculate an average deposition time of 15.6 ± 0.6 10Be kyr. Two samples were removed from the age distribution based on statistical grounds. This result is in good agreement with results obtained in Brandenburg where the Pomeranian moraine was dated at 16.4 ± 0.7 10Be kyr. Five samples from the Mecklenburgian moraine give an average age of 13.7 ± 0.6 10Be kyr in good chronological order with the Pomeranian moraine age. One sample (MVP-21) from the Mecklenburgian moraine was corrected for burial effect based on historical documents demonstrating that if known, the recent past history of exposure of a surface can be appropriately used to calculate an exposure age. Together, this new data set highlights: 1. the difficulty to date surfaces older than the Weichselian glaciation when using only one cosmogenic radionuclide, 2. the consistency of the results obtained for the Pomeranian moraine across northeastern Germany using cosmogenic Be-10.

Abstract: New evidence in the NW region of the Iberian Peninsula (~42°N 6°W) of a glacial advance coeval with the global Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) of the Marine Isotope Stage 2 has been identified through a dataset of exposure ages based on 23 10Be concentration measurements carried out on boulder samples taken from a set of latero-frontal moraines. Results span the interval 19.2-15.410Beka, matching the last deglaciation period when Iberia experienced the coldest and driest conditions of the last 25ka, and are consistent with Lateglacial chronologies established in other mountain regions from SW Europe. The extent of the LGM stade identified in this work is similar to the local maximum ice extent stade recorded and dated as prior to 33ka using radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence. This work showcases how multiple-dating approaches and detailed geomorphological mapping are required to reconstruct realistic palaeoglacier evolution models. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd., Research funded by Spanish CICYT projects LIMNOCAL–CGL2006-13327-C04-01, GRACCIE-CSD2007-0006, TOPOIBERIA-CSD2006-0041 (Consolider Ingenio Program), RISKNAT-2009SGR520, and Fundación Patrimonio Natural CyL.
