Abstract

Isotopic records from polar ice cores imply globally asynchronous warming at the end of the last glaciation. However, 10 Be exposure dates show that large-scale retreat of mid-latitude Last Glacial Maximum glaciers commenced at about the same time in both hemispheres. The timing of retreat is consistent with the onset of temperature and atmospheric CO 2 increases in Antarctic ice cores. We suggest that a global trend of rising summer temperatures at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum was obscured in North Atlantic regions by hypercold winters associated with unusually extensive winter sea ice.

Because of the use of different age models the onset of the last termination in Antarctic ice cores has been assigned ages of about 19 ky for Byrd [Greenland Ice Sheet Project (GISP) 2 chronology] ( 3 ) 18 ky for the Byrd core [Greenland Ice Core Project (GRIP) chronology] ( 4 ) 17.5 ky for European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA) Dome C (EDC1 time scale) ( 5 ) and 17 ky for Vostok (GT4 time scale) ( 6 ).
