Glacier advances, in Central Chile, however, predate the global LGM (Zech et al, 2006(Zech et al, , 2008(Zech et al, , 2011, indicating an earlier northward shift of the SWW and a dry LGM. Results from modelling studies are controversial, including southward shifts during the LGM (Valdes, 2000;Wyrwoll et al, 2000;Wainer et al, 2005), northward shifts (Caviedes, 1990) and no shifts at all with only intensity changes (Kull et al, 2002;Rojas et al, 2009).…”
