Abstract

International audience; Numerous cases of timing differences between glacier advances recorded in mountain environments have been documented over the last decade, usually suggesting potential age conflicts between the different dating techniques. The frequent use of a single technique to date numerically a given glacial sequence makes it difficult to address to what extent age differences can be an artifact related to biased numerical age results or a paleoclimate signature. Here we present a new set of 43 numerical ages based on three dating techniques -Be-10 surface exposure dating; radiocarbon; and optically stimulated luminescence-that complement the chronology of Pleistocene glacial advances in the Porma valley, in the central Cantabrian Mountains of Spain. Results compliment previous chronologies in the area, supporting an important glacial advance during Marine Isotope Stage 3 (Stage Ila: similar to 56 ka) that culminated with the Last Glacial Maximum advance (Stage llb: similar to 33-24 ka) of MIS 2 in response to increased rainfall and solar insolation minima. Glacier fronts reached elevations as low as 1130 m a.s.l. possibly without overriding evidence related to the previous Pleistocene glacial maximum extent. Glacier recession in the Cantabrian Mountains started at 21-20 ka ago, after the global LGM. We suggest that the recession was initiated by increased insolation followed by hyper-cool and dry conditions during Heinrich Stadial 1 in response to meltwater discharges in the North Atlantic.

Abstract

The timing of past glaciation across the Tian Shan provides a proxy for past climate change in this critical area. Correlating glacial stages across the region is difficult but cosmogenic exposure ages have considerable potential. A drawback is the large observed scatter in Be-10 surface exposure data. To quantify the robustness of the dating, we compile, recalculate, and perform statistical analyses on sets of 10Be surface exposure ages from 25 moraines, consisting of 114 new and previously published ages. We assess boulder age scatter by dividing boulder groups into quality classes and rejecting boulder groups of poor quality. This allows us to distinguish and correlate robustly dated glacier limits, resulting in a more conservative chronology than advanced in previous publications. Our analysis shows that only one regional glacial stage can be reliably correlated across the Tian Shan, with glacier expansions occurring between 15 and 281 a during marine oxygen isotope stage (MIS) 2. However, there are examples of older more extensive indicators of glacial stages between MIS 3 and MIS 6. Paleoglacier extent during MIS 2 was mainly restricted to valley glaciation. Local deviations occur: in the central Kyrgyz Tian Shan paleoglaciers were more extensive and we propose that the topographic context explains this pattern. Correlation between glacial stages prior to late MIS 2 is less reliable, because of the low number of samples and/or the poor resolution of the dating. With the current resolution and spatial coverage of robustly-dated glacier limits we advise that paleoclimatic implications for the Tian Shan glacial chronology beyond MIS 2 are speculative and that continued work toward robust glacial chronologies is needed to resolve questions regarding drivers of past glaciation in the Tian Shan and Central Asia.
