International audience This study investigates the possibility of Holocene glaciation on Mount Olympus (Greece) with a respective local temperature–precipitation equilibrium line altitude (TP-ELA) at c. 2200m a.s.l., based on geomorphologic and paleoclimatic evidence. At present, the local TP-ELA is...
