Holocene glacier activity on Kerguelen Island: preliminary results from a novel proglacial lake sediment record
Poster International audience The Polar-regions are changing rapidly as greenhouse warming is continuing with huge impact on e.g. sea ice extent and snow cover. This change triggers teleconnections to low latitude areas challenging societies and human activity. We have, however, very little quantita...

Poster International audience The Polar-regions are changing rapidly as greenhouse warming is continuing with huge impact on e.g. sea ice extent and snow cover.
