Chironomid‐inferred summer temperatures for the Last Glacial–Interglacial Transition from a lake sediment sequence in Muir Park Reservoir, west‐central Scotland
ABSTRACT Lake sediments spanning the Last Glacial–Interglacial Transition (LGIT: ca. 14.7 to 8 ka BP) from Muir Park Reservoir (MPR) in west‐central Scotland were analysed for chironomids. The site lies just outside the southern limit of a former glacier that advanced into the Loch Lomond Basin duri...
