The Anatolian Mountains: glacial landforms during the Bølling–Allerød Interstadial
Abstract
The cold and dry climatic conditions during the main deglaciation in Anatolia were interrupted by the warm and humid climate during the Bølling–Allerød Interstadial. The glaciers must have receded from their frontal positions that they reached during the main glaciation. Whether the glaciers disappeared or were only small valley or cirque glaciers during this period is still open to question. Glacier landforms related to the Bølling–Allerød Interstadial, even if they might have existed once, would have been eliminated by the glacier advances during the Younger Dryas. In conclusion, the landforms related to the Bølling–Allerød Interstadial are not yet encountered in the Anatolian mountains. Show more
