Abstract:Warming climate (Badgeley et al., 2020) associated with increasing northern-hemisphere summer insolation (Berger, 1978) triggered widespread ice retreat and the end of the global Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), approximately 19.5 ka (kiloannum: thousand calendar years before "present," BP, at 1950) (Clark et al., 2009).
