The Late Pleistocene is an unofficial age in the international geologic timescale in chronostratigraphy, also known as the Upper Pleistocene from a stratigraphic perspective. It is intended to be the fourth division of the Pleistocene Epoch within the ongoing Quaternary Period.
16 sie 2019 · These spatial patterns in Late Pleistocene ice extent suggest that glaciation may be initiated in the Pacific region, before spreading to the North Atlantic region.
The Quaternary glaciation, also known as the Pleistocene glaciation, is an alternating series of glacial and interglacial periods during the Quaternary period that began 2.58 Ma (million years ago) and is ongoing.
14 wrz 2018 · We applied chemical weathering proxies and zircon geo-thermo-chronometry to late Pleistocene sediment recovered from the deep-sea Mississippi fan, revealing interactions between the Laurentide...
27 lip 2023 · Nature Geoscience - Orbital precession played a more important role than obliquity during Late Pleistocene swings in ice-sheet extent, according to an analysis of benthic oxygen isotope...
15 lut 2022 · Late Pleistocene glacial chronologies and paleoclimate in the northern Rocky Mountains. Brendon J. Quirk, Elizabeth Huss, Benjamin J. C. Laabs , Eric Leonard, Joseph Licciardi, Mitchell A. Plummer, and Marc W. Caffee. Abstract. The geologic record of mountain glaciations is a robust indicator of terrestrial paleoclimate change.
16 cze 2024 · Late Pleistocene glacial terminations occur at distinct configurations of orbital precession, obliquity, eccentricity and ice volume. Eccentricity controls the duration of precession cycles, and therefore the coherence of obliquity and precession.
