Chronology for Fluctuations in Late Pleistocene Sierra Nevada Glaciers and Lakes
Mountain glaciers, because of their small size, are usually close to equilibrium with the local climate and thus should provide a test of whether temperature oscillations in Greenland late in the last glacial period are part of global-scale climate variability or are restricted to the North Atlantic...
