The Younger Dryas Stadial

Nils‐Axel Mörner

Open publisher page 21 citations

Abstract

The present author thinks that the Younger Dryas Stadial include three colder phases separated by two warmer intervals. In Sweden and Finland there are three terminal moraine zones which should be correlated mutually. However, different opinions about this question have been expressed. The Baltic Ice Lake is believed to have been drained just at the end of the Younger Dryas Stadial and to show no other drastic changes in level (i.e. neither sudden damming nor drainage).
