Climatic changes in areas adjacent to the North Atlantic during the last glacial‐interglacial transition (14‐9 ka BP): A contribution to IGCP‐253
Abstract This paper presents a summary of the evidence for climatic changes during the last glacial‐interglacial transition (14‐9 ka BP) in land areas adjacent to the North Atlantic. It is a synthesis of the results of the 12 regional summaries compiled by contributors to the North Atlantic Seaboard...
