Article Synopsis
- - The Tröllaskagi Peninsula in northern Iceland contains numerous small glaciers that provide valuable records of climate changes in the Holocene era, challenging previous assumptions about the timing of their maximum extents, which were believed to occur predominantly during the Little Ice Age (LIA).
- - New research using Cosmic-Ray Exposure (CRE) dating on moraine sequences has identified several glacial advances before the LIA, specifically around 400 and 700 CE, in addition to earlier LIA advances in the 15th and 17th centuries.
- - Unlike traditional lichenometric dating, which has limitations for dating earlier glacial advances, this study combines various methods including satellite imagery and field work, highlighting a longer regional colonization lag
