An overview of the Last Glacial Cycle

Résumé

This introductory chapter succinctly describes the evolution of the European Ice Sheet configuration during the Last Glacial Period, from the end of Marine Isotopic Stage (MIS) 5e to the onset of MIS 1 (116–14.7 cal ka BP), and defines the millennial-scale changes that have punctuated this time period, that is, the Dansgaard–Oeschger cycles and the different episodes of iceberg discharges, including the Heinrich events. A short description of the impact of these millennial-scale changes on European vegetation and climate is also provided as a prelude to the following chapters.
