Climatic factors influencing Last Glacial Maximum and modern glacial conditions in the tropical and subtropical Andes
… results show average Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) equilibrium line altitude (ELA) depressions to be approximately 600 m in the tropics and 800 m in the subtropics, consistent with studies that suggest the subtropical Andes were glaciated at LGM. While previous studies have found that the …

The interaction of climate, tectonics, and topography in the Olympic Mountains of Washington State: the influence of erosion on tectonic steady-state and the synthesis of the alpine glacial history
… 1963±45, to less than 20±45 years. The estimated equilibrium line altitude (ELA) for Royal Glacier during this time is 1774 m as compared with 1688 m for Blue Glacier in the western Olympics over the same period. A compendium of glacial deposits observed throughout the peninsula is also summarized …

A Thermochronological Investigation of Orogenic Architecture, Kinematics, and Tectonic-Climatic Interactions within the St. Elias Orogen, Alaska
… focused around a narrow zone where the glacial equilibrium line altitude (ELA) intersects mean topography. This zone of rapid exhumation, not present prior to the onset of intense glacial conditions, cuts across the structural trend of the orogen and is more narrowly focused than the zone of …

Reconstructing Loch Lomond Stadial Glaciers and Climate in the south-west English Lake District
… have the potential to significantly raise the equilibrium line altitude (ELA) across a region. This lowers the temperature at the ELA and therefore increases the reconstructed palaeoprecipitation at the ELA. In order to test the viability of the reconstructed glaciers in the Lake District, a 2D …

An Assessment of the Relationship between Glacier Mass Balance and Synoptic Climate in Norway: Likely future implications of climate change.
… European stations are found to be significantly related to large-scale modes of atmospheric variability in the North Atlantic. Increased westerlies over Europe, particularly since the 1970s, are shown to significantly contribute to increases in temperature and precipitation over northern Europe …
