Compilations of regional- to subcontinental-scale mountain glacier chronologies from five continents, plus Hawaii, examine the temporal and spatial patterns of mountain glaciation. The compilations yield key insights into the nature of past fluctuations in temperature and precipitation in mountains and adjacent regions, and provide baseline data for examining the dynamics of glacier responses to climate change. Key insights from these compilations include the wide variability of glacier responses to fluctuations in insolation, temperature and precipitation and the regionally specific variations in climatic variables through late Quaternary time. The compilations highlight the need to improve the density and quality of geochronological data and to enhance the understanding of the links between climate and glaciation.
