海报摘要

The relative timing of mountain glaciation during the Holocene in Greenland is poorly understood. Results from this research provide insight on local ice cap variability and implications for climate change during the Holocene in western Greenland using continuous records of mountain glacier variability from proglacial lake sediments, cosmogenic 10Be dating of Holocene moraines, and radiocarbon dating of ice-cap-killed vegetation.
