Climatic and Glacial Fluctuations during the Late-Glacial and the Holocene in Oisans (Isere, France)

  • Chapter
Climatic Changes on a Yearly to Millennial Basis

Abstract

During the whole Late-glacial and Holocene times, only two glacial recurrences (the Younger Dryas and the 17–19th centuries) reflect deep climatic changes. Emphasis is laid on the thick and long-lasting snow cover. Besides these two recurrence periods, the major events observed mainly evidence the influence of drought: glacial regression and formation of rock- glaciers.
