Description :
The geological records of paleoglaciations in the high terrains of Anatolia are key archives to quantify paleoclimate change in the Eastern Mediterranean area. At present the timing of the Last Glacial Maximum in Anatolia is still unknown. The explained first results from Kavron Valley (Kaçkar Mountains, NE Turkey) are encouraging for the reconstruction of paleoglaciations in Turkey and related paleoclimatological interpretations although it is presently difficult to pinpoint the classical Last Glacial Maximum - Younger Dryas - Little Ice Age moraine sequences in the field. - (IfL)
