Convincing evidence for rapid ice sheet growth during the last glacial period
It is commonly assumed that ice sheet growth over a glacial cycle follows a saw-tooth pattern of very slow ice-sheet growth during the glacial period and rapid loss during the glacial termination (see e.g., Imbrie et al. 1984; Huybers and Wunsch, 2004; Lisiecki and Raymo, 2005). However, this assert...
