Chapitre 11: Recent Advances in Research on Quaternary Glaciations in the Pyrenees
Résumé
In the Pyrenees, new optically stimulated luminescence, 14C and 10Be ages, allows a more detailed image of the Pleistocene glaciations. MIS 6 moraines are dated on Ariège and Gallego. For the last glacial cycle, maximum ice extent occurred early, during MIS 4. A powerful advance during the global last glacial maximum is known on the Mediterranean side only. Deglaciation was very rapid after 20 ka.
