Paleo-climate of the central European uplands during the last glacial maximum based on glacier mass-balance modeling
Abstract During the last glacial maximum (LGM), glaciers existed in scattered mountainous locations in central Europe between the major ice masses of Fennoscandia and the Alps. A positive degree-day glacier mass-balance model is used to constrain paleo-climate conditions associated with reconstructe...
