The evolution of the Ésera glacier (Central Pyrenees) during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene Ixeia Vidaller et al. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18757710

Short summary

Since the Pyrenean Last Glacial Maximum (75 ka), the deglaciation of the Ésera glacier (central Pyrenees) was characterized by complex dynamics, with advances and rapid retreats. Cosmogenic dates of moraines along the headwaters of the valley and lacustrine sediments analyses allowed to reconstruct evolutionary history of the Ésera glacier and the associated environmental implications during the last deglaciation and calculate the Equilibrium Line Altitude to determine changes in temperature.
