The Last Glacial Termination
Abstract
Warming Up: For the past half-million years, our planet has passed through a cycle of glaciation and deglaciation every 100,000 years or so. Each of these cycles consists of a long and irregular period of cooling and ice sheet growth, followed by a termination—a period of rapid warming and ice sheet decay—that precedes a relatively short warm interval. But what causes glacial terminations? Denton et al. (p. 1652 ) review the field and propose a chain of events that may explain the hows and whys of Earth's emergence from the last glacial period. Pulling together many threads from both hemispheres suggests a unified causal chain involving ice sheet volume, solar radiation energy, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, sea ice, and prevailing wind patterns.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
