After the (1) phase of the “Lateglacial Ice Decay” glaciers advanced during the (2) Gschnitz Stadial before 16 ka. Subsequent smaller advances (Clavadel/Senders) were brought to an end with the start of the Bolling Interstadial. The multiple glacier advances of the (3) Egesen Stadial mark the Younger Dryas cold phase. Finally, the Kartell Stadial (Preboreal Oscillation) occurred during the transition from the Younger Dryas to the Holocene. The Gschnitz Stadial, the Egesen Stadial and the Kartell advance are dated with 10 Be. Climate during the older phases of the Lateglacial was generally very cold and much drier than today. During the Gschnitz Stadial, annual precipitation sums were reduced to about 1/3 to 1/4 of present day values, summer temperatures were about 10°C lower than today. The Younger Dryas brought cool-humid conditions along the northern fringe of the Alps and cool-dry conditions in the interior. During the Kartell Stadial, the climate should have been only slightly cooler than during the Little Ice Age and about as humid as today. ZusammenfassungRead More
