ABSTRACT

Peteet 1995

Peteet, D.M., 1995: North American evidence for the Younger Dryas cooling — the last decade of research. In The Younger Dryas: Proceedings of a Workshop at the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, Series 1, No. 44. S.R. Troestra, J.E. van Hinte, and G.M. Ganssen, Eds. Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, pp. 37-46.

A brief review of palynological, macrofossil, and AMS 14C dating as evidence for the Younger Drys cooling in Nirth America is provided, focusing on research of the last decade. The attention to this climate reversal appears to be primarily at the margin of the Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets. The degree to which the records indicate regional vegetational and climatic changes, and are welld-ated with AMS 14C dating, varies greatly from region to region.
