摘要:
Glaciations of the Pleistocene have left a global imprint, expanding from polar plains to equatorial mountains on all continents. This glacial record has been systematically researched for nearly two centuries. However, its diversity, as well as fieldwork logistics, ice-flow modelling challenges and paleoclimate unknowns have often constrained paleoglacier studies to remain regional. Here, we present a global map of temperature change needed to initiate glacier growth, hereafter referred to as glacial inception threshold, and a regional downscaling over Japan and Taiwan.
