Younger Dryas glacier advances in the tropical Andes driven by increased precipitation

Abstract There is currently a debate about the timing and drivers of former glacier behaviour and climate change in the tropical Andes. Using 10Be dating we determined the ages of 21 boulders on moraines in the Santa Cruz Valley, Peru (∼10°S, altitudes ~ 4100 to ~ 4300 m a.s.l.). Former glacier exte...
