“…2) (Urdea 1993(Urdea , 2000(Urdea , 2001. Glacial morphology and the absolute time of the glacial advances have recently been studied by Urdea (2004) and Reuther et al (2007) on the northern flank of the Retezat. According to their reconstruction, two major glacial advances took place during the last glacial period (Weichselian).…”

“…Similar findings by Ilyashuk et al (2009) in the Swiss Alps support this interpretation. Further support comes from geomorphological evidence, according to which stone glaciers existed during the M3 glacial advance in the northwestern part of the Gales firn basin (between 13.6±1.5 and 11.4±1.3 ka BP) (Urdea 2004;Nagy, pers. com.).…”

“…1). These peaks constituted the major areas of ice accumulation during the Pleistocene glaciations (Urdea 2000(Urdea , 2004Reuther et al 2007). As a consequence, glacial landforms and lakes are abundant in these mountains, particularly in the southwestern high mountain range, the Retezat (Figs 1 and 2).…”

As a first piece in a series of Late Quaternary paleoecological studies on the glacial lake sediments of the Retezat Mountains, this study discusses radiocarbon chronology and sediment accumulation rate changes in two sediment profiles in relation to lithostratigraphy, organic content, biogenic silica and major pollenstratigraphic changes. A total of 25 radiocarbon dates were obtained from sediments of two lakes, Lake Brazi (TDB-1; 1740 m a.s.l.) and Lake Gales (Gales-3; 1990 m a.s.l.). Age-depth modeling was performed on TDB-1 using calibrated age ranges from BCal and various curve-fitting methods in psimpoll. Our results suggest that sediment accumulation began between 15,124-15,755 cal yr BP in both lakes and was continuous throughout the Late Glacial and Holocene. We demonstrated that local ecosystem productivity showed delayed response to Late Glacial and Early Holocene climatic changes in the subalpine and alpine zones most likely attributable to the cooling effect of remnant glaciers and meltwater input. However, regional vegetation response was without time lag and indicated forestation and warming at 14,450 and 11,550 cal yr BP, and cooling at ca. 12,800 cal yr BP. In the Holocene one major shift was detected, starting around 6300 cal yr BP and culminating around 5200 cal yr BP. The various proxies suggested summer cooling, shorter duration of the winter ice-cover season and/or increasing size of the water body, probably in response to increasing available moisture.Addresses: E.

“…The major question is whether the MIE 77 coincided with the LGM or occurred before, as it was suggested by Reuther et al (2004,78 based on geomorphological and stratigraphical observations (Posea et al, 1974;Posea, 2002; 102 Urdea, 2004). The second one was based on a single radiocarbon age and proposed that all 103 glacial deposits belong to repeated glacier advances during the last glacial phase (Badea et al,104 1983; Bălteanu et al, 1998).…”

“…During the LGM, moraines formed at 900-1300 m ( [10] and references therein). ELA was at 1700 m in the Southern Carpathians and at 1250 m in the Eastern Carpathians [10,11,12,13]. Some uncertainty in determination of former snowlines is caused by the possible presence of icecaps on some plateaux [14] The effects of glacial erosion were complicated by temporal variations in snowline (of the order of 1000 m in the Late Quaternary) and may be masked by other processes (tectonic and fluvial).…”
