The role of the Indian summer monsoon and the mid-latitude westerlies in Himalayan glaciation:review and speculative discussion
New dares for late Quaternary glaciations in the Himalayas show that, during the last glacial cycle, glaciations were not synchronous throughout the region. Rather, in some areas glaciers reached their maxima at the global glacial maximum of e. 18-20 ka sp, whereas in others glaciers were most exten...
