海报摘要

This poster presents the initial results of an ongoing project reconstructing local glacier fluctuations in West Greenland using a multi-proxy approach. High-resolution chronologies of Holocene mountain glacier variability are presented. This work contributes to identifying regional patterns of North Atlantic climate variability, especially events during the late Holocene.
