During the
late Pleistocene
glacial maxima, about two - thirds of the present Alaskan land mass was ice free (Hamilton and Goebel 1999:156).
Kelly and Lowell (2009) say that «subsequent to
late -
glacial or early Holocene time, most local glaciers were smaller than at present or may have disappeared completely during the Holocene Thermal
Maximum,»
a Last
Glacial Maximum (LGM) and MIS 1 conditions for selected cores from the central Arctic Ocean (CAO), the Barents Sea continental margin (BSCM) and Fram Strait (FS) 36 and Early Holocene (EH) and Middle -
Late Holocene (MLH) data from Fram Strait Core MSM5 / 5 -71232).
To better understand these discrepancies, a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters investigates the drivers of changes in deep ocean circulation across a range of modern and Last
Glacial Maximum (LGM, ~ 21000 years ago) climate simulations from the
latest Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP).
Climate model simulations of the Last
Glacial Maximum show an even stronger Bodélé LLJ compared with that of the present, and dated evidence points to the conditions under which deflation would have been capable of excavating the depression which was
later partly filled by paleolake Megachad (31).
