“…This period, which formerly comprised the Bühl and Steinach Lateglacial stadials (Penck and Brückner, 1909;Mayr and Hueberger, 1968), is now called the phase of early Lateglacial ice decay (Reitner, 2007). Based on detailed geomorphological and sedimentological study at the Bühl type locality in the Hopfgarten region, Reitner (2007) concluded that the ice-marginal positions at that site do not record climate-driven glacier readvances. Ice-marginal landforms, especially kame terraces (van Husen, 2000) that built up along the sides of the decaying ice masses, indicate that the glaciers were no longer responsive to climate signals from the accumulation areas (Reitner, 2007).…”

Luminescene dating constrains this period to 17±2 ka (Klasen et al, 2007).…”

We present the results of a study examining Quaternary sediments in the central and inner Riss Valley of the Karwendel Mountains, Tyrol. By using geological mapping, seismic and geoelectrical surveys, as well as shallow drilling and radiocarbon dating we investi gated the sedimentary evolution of this previously poorly studied area. At Großer Ahornboden, seismic data reveal a glacially carved bedrock surface, buried beneath up to 140 m of sediments. The lowest sediment sequence consists of consolidated sediments showing high seismic velocities (2750 m/s) and reaching a thickness of 115 m. The overlying uncompacted sequence yielded lower velocity values (500 to 1100 m/s) and is interpreted as Holocene valley fill, with sediment derived from Rissbach river, small talus screes and debris-flow fans from tributary creeks. Up to 10-m-thick deposits of a Holocene paleolake, dammed by a large Lateglacial terminal moraine ridge, are present at the northern rim of Großer Ahornboden. Radiocarbon dates constrain the duration of this lake to between 10.5-10.2 and 5.5-5.3 cal ka BP. Lacustrine sediments pinch out in the subsurface just below the small fan leading down from Tränkkarl. In the central Riss Valley over 100 m thick, consolidated sediments of a proglacial delta are exposed. This delta complex consists of bottomset silts and thick foreset gravel and is overlain by diamict forming poorly developed moraine ridges of Lateglacial origin.

“…There are no proxy data from the Tatra Mountains that can confirm the onset of deglaciation of the LGM glaciers. In the European Alps, the deglaciation began around 21.5 ka (Reitner, 2007). Before 18 ka, Alpine glaciers lost about 80% of their volume (Ivy-Ochs et al, 2004, 2008.…”
