Würmian paleoclimate and glaciation in Corsica

对科西嘉岛冰川沉积物和时间线的系统调查，使我们能够绘制出（晚期）<s:1>世纪末期冰川的最大范围。古平衡线海拔（ELA）模式的重建为地中海西北地区<s:1>最大冰期时期的区域气候提供了重要信息。然而，需要建立一个坚固的冰碛沉积地层格架。为了确定温<s:1>残岩中冰碛沉积的年龄限制，我们的目标是通过测定10Be宇宙成因同位素的年代来确定在温<s:1>残岩冰碛上升起的大型巨石的暴露年龄。中尺度地形似乎控制着科西嘉岛的ELA模式，这种控制的特殊性，如漏斗效应的量化，可能适用于许多山脉。

Systematic investigation of glacial deposits and trimelines in Corsica enabled to map the maximum extent of glaciers during the (late) Würmian. The reconstruction of the ancient equilibrium line altitude (ELA) pattern provides important information on the regional climate during the Würmian maximum glaciation in the nordwestern Mediterranean realm. However, a robust stratigraphic framework for moraine deposits needs to be established. To establish age constraints for the deposition of moraines within the Würmian we aim to determine exposure ages of large boulders rising above Würmian moraines by dating 10Be cosmogenic isotopes. Mesoscale topography appears to control ELA pattern on Corsica, and paricularities of this control such as quantification of funneling effects are potentially applicable in many mountain ranges.
