We thank of course the paleoglacier community who provided their data in open-access format!
Very proud of this collaborative effort with @berylliumben.bsky.social @iestynbarr.bsky.social

MANY mountains had glaciers but they didn’t expand everywhere equally. ⛰️
"Local LGMs" are evident everywhere as mountains differed in when glaciers had maximum extent.
And some mountain ranges were extensively glaciated, few remained ice-free, and several regions are still poorly constrained.

It wasn’t easy to get the data....
Old maps, outdated emails, unresponsive authors are challenges for global compilations. And many papers without open-access data☹

We just published a global synthesis of mountain glacier extent during the last ice age! #LGM

Tomorrow I’ll be serving on the PhD defense committee @charlesuni.cuni.cz in beautiful Prague. The thesis is ‘Plant radiations in tropical-alpine areas’ by J.M. Gorospe 🏔️🌿. Can’t say more yet 🤫, but I’m much looking forward! (And yes, I still print papers and I travel with a portable screen 😅)
