The glacial legacy of the EISC during the Younger Dryas Stadial
The European Ice Sheet Complex (EISC) had already separated into independent ice masses of varying size before the start of the Younger Dryas (YD) Stadial (12.9–11.7ka), ceasing to exist as an integrated complex. Only Fennoscandia sustained an ice sheet at this point with much of the rest of the EIS...

The European Ice Sheet Complex (EISC) had already separated into independent ice masses of varying size before the start of the Younger Dryas (YD) Stadial (12.9–11.7ka), ceasing to exist as an integrated complex. Only Fennoscandia sustained an ice sheet at this point with much of the rest of the EISC domain deglaciated and experiencing post-glacial conditions and processes. Nonetheless, the abrupt cooling and changes in precipitation patterns of the Younger Dryas resulted in an expansion and/or regrowth of ice at sites across the EISC domain; albeit of varied amplitude and expression reflecting the initial glacial conditions at the end of the preceding Bølling–Allerød and modulated by local–regional variations in climate and topography. Here we introduce and synthesise information from Chapters 46–51 that describe in detail the regional variations in landforms and landscapes produced during the YD. For regions where the YD marks the final advance of ice, glacial landforms of the YD are some of the best preserved elements of the landscape, allowing for a detailed reconstruction of past ice limits.
