Improved moraine age interpretations through explicit matching of geomorphic process models to cosmogenic nuclide measurements from single landforms
The statistical distributions of cosmogenic nuclide measurements from moraine boulders contain previously unused information on moraine ages, and they help determine whether moraine degradation or inheritance is more important on individual moraines. Here, we present a method for extracting this information by fitting geomorphic process models to observed exposure ages from single moraines. We also apply this method to 94 10 Be apparent exposure …
Numerical modeling of valley glacier stagnation as a paleoclimatic indicator
Stagnation of the terminal region of a glacier occurs in response to sufficiently large and rapid climatic warming, so the presence of stagnation deposits provides quantitative information on the climate change that forced retreat. Here we use a simple flow-line glacier model to investigate the relationship between stagnation, climate forcing and aspects of the glacier bed. For climatic warming greater than the threshold to cause stagnation, larg…

Relative Performance of Self-Organizing Maps and Principal Component Analysis in Pattern Extraction from Synthetic Climatological Data
As a contribution toward improving our ability to identify robust patterns of variability in complex, noisy climate datasets, we have compared a relatively new technique, Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs), to the well-established method of principal component analysis (PCA). Recent results suggest that SOMs offer advantages over PCA for use in climatological and other studies. Here each analysis technique was applied to synthetic datasets composed of p…
The Younger Dryas cold interval as viewed from central Greenland
Increasing North Atlantic climate variability recorded in a central Greenland ice core 1
Greenland ice‐core data show that the multiannual variability in North Atlantic climate has been increasing in the latter part of the Holocene. Statistically significant trends were established before the Industrial Revolution. A general inverse correlation exists between variability and temperature, and may be linked to North Atlantic oceanic heat transport
Deglacial changes in ocean circulation from an extended radiocarbon calibration
Abrupt increase in Greenland snow accumulation at the end of the Younger Dryas event
The ‘flickering switch’ of late Pleistocene climate change
