Concept and global context of the glacial landforms from the Younger Dryas Stadial
The Younger Dryas (GS-1: ~12.9–11.7 ka) constituted a climate reversal, abruptly interrupting the rapid deglaciation prevailing in Termination I, and the previous consistent trend to warming that characterised the Bølling/Allerød interstadial. There is a general agreement on the causes of the abrupt...
