Late Weichselian thermal state at the base of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet
Geothermal estimates of the ground surface temperatures for the last glacial cycle in Northern Europe has been analyzed. During the Middle and Late Weichselian (55–12 kyr BP) a substantial part of this area was covered by the Scandinavian Ice Sheet. The analysis of geothermal data has allowed recons...
