Between 26,500 and 19,000 years ago, massive sheets of ice covered Earth’s Northern hemisphere. During this so-called last glacial maximum, the ice sequestered water, causing a drop in sea level and ...

In step with their conclusions, they found evidence of increased volcanism during deglaciation during the Last Glacial Maximum. “As the ice melts away, the reduced weight on the volcano allows ...

This study, published in Nature, examines the mechanisms behind El Niño changes during past and future climate states, focusing on the Last Glacial Maximum—about 20,000 years ago—to better ...

They identified a correlation between ice mass unloading during deglaciation at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (~18,000 years ago) with increased eruptive activity from the Calbuco ...
