Last Glacial Maximum and deglaciation of Sierra de Gredos, central Iberian Peninsula

Pleistocene glacial morphology and timing of last glacial cycle in cantabrian mountains (Northern Spain): new chronological data from the Asón area

“…Similar results were provided for the southernmost mountains. To the south of the Mediterranean [78], in the High Atlas, an early glaciation was dated around 76.0 ka, while in the Central Iberian System [79,80], the oldest ages were between 31 and 26 ka.…”

Geomorphology of the Lozoya river drainage basin area (Community of Madrid, Spanish Central System)

“…These sediments are composed of boulders, gravels, sands, silts and clays (Arsuaga, Baquedano, & Pérez-González, 2006;Karampaglidis et al, 2011;Pérez-González et al, 2010). Similarly, during the Late Pleistocene, glacier deposits (moraines) formed in upland areas of the Sierra de Guadarrama (Centeno et al, 1983;Palacios et al, 2011;Palacios, Andrés, De Marcos, & Vasquez-Selem, 2012;Pedraza & Carrasco, 2006). Lastly, colluviums, peat formations and solifluidal deposits were developed during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene (Bellido et al, 1991;Karampaglidis et al, 2011).…”

“…These forms are poorly preserved, corresponding to a degraded glacier cirque with morainic deposits (Centeno et al, 1983;Palacios et al, 2011Palacios et al, , 2012Pedraza & Carrasco, 2006). The majority of the periglacial landforms are seasonal and difficult to map.…”

“…Various studies focused on long-term landscape evolution (Birot & Solé Salaris, 1954;Centeno, Pedraza, & Ortega Ruiz, 1983;Fernández, 1987;Garzón, 1980;Pedraza, 1978;Penk, 1972;Schwenzer, 1937), glacial features (Centeno et al, 1983;Palacios, De Marcos, & Vasquez-Selem, 2011;Pedraza and Carrasco, 2006), the local karstic systems (Karampaglidis, Benito-Calvo, Pérez-González, Baquedano, & Arsuaga, 2011;Pérez-González et al, 2010;Torres et al, 1995Torres et al, , 2005, and the regional morphostructure (Arenas Martín, Fúster, Martínez, Del Olmo, & Villaseca, 1991;Bellido et al, 1991;De Vicente et al, 2007). In contrast, we integrate the identified landforms # 2014 Theodoros Karampaglidis and produce a detailed synthetic geomorphologic map.…”

Deglaciación en la Cordillera Cantábrica: modelo y evolución

“…The asynchroneity of the maximum advances have been explained by different regional responses to climatic forcing and by the southern latitudes of the Iberian Peninsula (González-Sampériz et al, 2006;Delmas et al, 2008;García-Ruiz et al, 2010, 2013Serrano et al, 2013). The present day controversy is on the possible synchrony between the Iberian Peninsula and European LGM in the Pyrenees or the Central System (Pallás et al, 2007;Calvet et al, 2011;Palacios et al, 2011), although some recent dates suggest an early maximum also for the Central System (Domínguez-Villar et al, 2013) and different evolution models have been proposed for the Mediterranean area (Hughes et al, 2006(Hughes et al, , 2008, including older phases than the last glacial cycle.…”
