Best regards Adriano Ribolini Response to reviewer Reply to the Reviewers Dear Editor, Thank you for the management of our submission and for proving helpful comments and suggestions. In the following pages we reply to all issues raised by the two reviewers and yourself. Reviewer 1: The paper presents interesting results in the dating of three moraine blocks, for which they provide very similar results. Despite the low number of samples, the remarkably homogeneous results obtained allow to include this moraine within a period of widespread glacial advance in the Mediterranean environment and, more generally, on a planetary scale. The work is very well written and very clear. However, it shows some methodological deficiencies, mainly in two fields: A) Chronological analysis of the samples: the manner of taking the samples and the field data is described in great detail, but no details are given of how the geochemical analyses, the calibration method, or the methods for isotope production have been performed. Besides, indicating that "standard laboratory procedures" have been adopted is not sufficient, since these can indeed vary widely. REPLY: The details about laboratory procedures are now included (lines 134-146). Moreover, the details of chemical analytical results are reported in a new Table placed in the supplementary material of the paper Furthermore, the analysis does not describe the values entered in the age calculator used to obtain the ages, nor does it indicate the spallation scaling scheme that has been chosen from the possible ones offered by the age calculator used, nor is it clear what the uncertainty values refer to. REPLY: The values entered in the age calculator are now isolated in Tab 1. The internal uncertainty (analytical uncertainties which are dominated by AMS uncertainties) and the external uncertainty (both analytical and production rate uncertainties) are both indicated in Tab. 2, following Balco et al. 2008 (Quaternary Geochronology 3, 174–195). In the discussion we refer only to the external uncertainty. Moreover, the scaling scheme for spallation is now2 referred at lines 229-230. For this reason, it is essential to clarify all the details of the laboratory analysis carried out and the parameters used, so that the reader can better understand the results. In addition, it is necessary to include a table with all the field and analytical data for the three 10Be samples, and another one with all possible results according to the spallation scaling scheme applied. REPLY: Field and analytical data are now given in the Supplementary material and Tab 1. Tab 2 now include details relative to exposure ages calculation with a constant production rate model (Tab 2a) , scaling system for spallation of Lal (1991) and Stone (2000), and with a time-varying production models (different scaling systems for spallation) (Tab. 2b). B) Calculation of ELAs during the Oldest Dryas in various Mediterranean mountains: The discussion shows the data for the ELA parameter during the Oldest Dryas in various Mediterranean mountains, according to a methodology set out in the corresponding section. In the first place, these data are actually results, so it would be necessary to include them in a separate section in the results chapter, rather than showing them in the discussion. REPLY: It is right, the ELA data were calculated in this study. However, the focus of the paper is on the age and the ELA of this specific moraine in the Pelister area. Similar to what we do for the chronological correlation to other dated moraines in Europe, we prefer to maintain the ELAs comparison across the Mediterranean mountain in the discussion section. But again, the description of the data that have been examined to obtain these results is missing here. Therefore, the reader may begin to have serious doubts as to how these data have been obtained. They do not seem to originate from the previous literature either, since it is not cited, even though there are specific publications where the same methodology has been applied, for example, in Sierra Nevada (see Palma et al., 2017). The doubt becomes greater as few Oldest Dryas glacial landforms have been dated in most of these mountains, which, in most cases, makes it impossible to reconstruct the exact extent of the glaciers during this period. This parameter is fundamental to obtain the ELAs. REPLY: The ELAs were (re)calculated starting from the position of the frontal moraine reported in the original papers, which are all cited in the caption of Figure 7. These refer to dated moraines. As stated in the methodological section, and described in the original GIS tool paper, the glacier reconstruction is based on the position of the frontal moraine and requires a topographic dataset (DTM) as accurate as possible. To reinforce this, a more extended description of the adopted approach is now added to the Method section (lines 176-190). For this reason, it is essential that in addition obtaining results, the manuscript must describe the parameters used to obtain the ELAs analysis in each case, and the source from which these parameters have been taken: are they drawn from the authors' own observations, or do they come from the literature? And, if the latter is the case, they must be cited accordingly. REPLY: Again, the sources are the information (position of the frontal moraine) reported in the corresponding literature (cited in the manuscript). The ways to automatically reconstruct the glacier and to calculate the ELA are described in the paper by Pellitero et al 2015 and Pellitero et al 2016. A description of the GIS tools is reported in the Method section., along with the new added description of the approach adopted to reconstruct the palaeo-glaciers in other Mediterranean mountains (lines 177-190). Reviewer 2: The paper is an important and the first contribution about the deglaciation chronology in Macedonia mountains. Unfortunately the authors used only one spot for filling their goal there. Moreover they used 3 ages only but enough to starts the glaciation chronology puzzle in Macedonia. For now I suggests to use more details data from lake sediments around the spot (Prespa and Maliq). REPLY: The data from nearby Lake Prespa and Maliq provide a good palaeo- environment characterization of the area at the time when the studied palaeo-glacier deposited the dated moraine. This data is referred to in the discussion of our paper.

    The Last Maximum Ice Extent and Subsequent Deglaciation of the Pyrenees: an Overview of Recent Research

DELMAS Université de Perpignan-Via Domitia, UMR 7194 CNRS, Histoire Naturelle de l’Homme Préhistorique, 52 avenue Paul Alduy 66860 Perpignan, France. ABSTRACT. This paper reviews data currently available on the glacial fluctuations that occurred in the Pyrenees between the Würmian Maximum Ice Extent (MIE) and the beginning of the Holocene. It puts the studies published since the end of the 19th century in a historical perspective and focuses on how the methods of investigation used by successive generations of authors led them to paleogeographic and chronologic conclusions that for a time were antagonistic and later became complementary. The inventory and mapping of the ice-marginal deposits has allowed several glacial stades to be identified, and the successive ice boundaries to be outlined. Meanwhile, the weathering grade of moraines and glaciofluvial deposits has allowed Würmian glacial deposits to be distinguished from pre-Würmian ones, and has thus allowed the Würmian Maximum Ice Extent (MIE) –i.e. the starting point of the last deglaciation– to be clearly located. During the 1980s, 14C dating of glaciolacustrine sequences began to indirectly document the timing of the glacial stades responsible for the adjacent frontal or lateral moraines. Over the last decade, in situ-produced cosmogenic nuclides (10Be and 36Cl) have been documenting the deglaciation process more directly because the data are obtained from glacial landforms or deposits such as boulders embedded in frontal or lateral moraines, or ice- polished rock surfaces.

    A Possible Late Pleistocene Impact Crater in Central North America and Its Relation to the Younger Dryas Stadial

    A POSSIBLE LATE PLEISTOCENE IMPACT CRATER IN CENTRAL NORTH AMERICA AND ITS RELATION TO THE YOUNGER DRYAS STADIAL SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY David Tovar Rodriguez IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE Howard Mooers, Advisor August 2020 2020 David Tovar All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Howard Mooers for his permanent support, my family, and my friends. i Abstract The causes that started the Younger Dryas (YD) event remain hotly debated. Studies indicate that the drainage of Lake Agassiz into the North Atlantic Ocean and south through the Mississippi River caused a considerable change in oceanic thermal currents, thus producing a decrease in global temperature. Other studies indicate that perhaps the impact of an extraterrestrial body (asteroid fragment) could have impacted the Earth 12.9 ky BP ago, triggering a series of events that caused global temperature drop. The presence of high concentrations of iridium, charcoal, fullerenes, and molten glass, considered by-products of extraterrestrial impacts, have been reported in sediments of the same age; however, there is no impact structure identified so far. In this work, the Roseau structure's geomorphological features are analyzed in detail to determine if impacted layers with plastic deformation located between hard rocks and a thin layer of water might explain the particular shape of the studied structure. Geophysical data of the study area do not show gravimetric anomalies related to a possible impact structure. One hypothesis developed on this works is related to the structure's shape might be explained by atmospheric explosions dynamics due to the disintegration of material when it comes into contact with the atmosphere.

Andersen1, A. M. Svensson1, J. P. Steffensen1, B. M. Vinther1, H. B. Clausen1, M.-L. Siggaard-Andersen1,2, S. J. Johnsen1, L. B. Larsen1, D. Dahl-Jensen1, M. Bigler1,3, R. R¨othlisberger3,4, H. Fischer2, K. Goto-Azuma5, M. E. Hansson6, and U. Ruth2 Abstract. We present a new common stratigraphic time scale for the NGRIP and GRIP ice cores. The time scale covers the period 7.9–14.8 ka before present, and includes the Bølling, Allerød, Younger Dryas, and Early Holocene periods. We use a combination of new and previously published data, the most prominent being new high resolution Con- tinuous Flow Analysis (CFA) impurity records from the NGRIP ice core. Several inves- tigators have identified and counted annual layers using a multi-parameter approach, and the maximum counting error is estimated to be up to 2% in the Holocene part and about 3% for the older parts. These counting error estimates reflect the number of annual lay- ers that were hard to interpret, but not a possible bias in the set of rules used for an- nual layer identification. As the GRIP and NGRIP ice cores are not optimal for annual layer counting in the middle and late Holocene, the time scale is tied to a prominent vol- canic event inside the 8.2 ka cold event, recently dated in the DYE-3 ice core to 8236 years before A.D.

These increases in the atmospheric C content are usually explained as the effect of reduced oceanic CO2 ventilation after episodic outbursts of large meltwater reservoirs into the North Atlantic. In this hypothesis the stagnation of the thermohaline circulation is the cause of both climate change as well as an increase in atmospheric 14C: As an alternative hypothesis we propose that changes in 14C production give an indication for the cause of the recorded climate shifts: changes in solar activity cause fluctuations in the solar wind, which modulate the cosmic ray intensity and related 14C production. Two possible mechanisms amplifying the changes in solar activity may result in climate change. In the case of a temporary decline in solar activity: (1) reduced solar UV intensity may cause a decline of stratospheric ozone production and cooling as a result of less absorption of sunlight.

Staromonetny 29, Moscow, 119017, Russia 2 Instituto de Geología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México * [email protected] Abstract The Alexandrovsky quarry exposure (near Kursk, central European Russia) represents one of the most complete and detailed records of paleosols, colluvial sediments and loess for the last glacial-interglacial cycle in Eastern Europe. The buried toposequence of Mikulino (Eemian) paleosols, developed on a gully slope cut in the Dnepr (Riss) loess and overlain by Early Valdai (Würmian) colluvium, was subjected to detailed morphological study. The paleosol on the upper slope is an Albeluvisol that contrasts from the Holocene Cherno- zem. Analysis of thin sections of the Albeluvisol demonstrated that elluvial features – concentrations of bleached silt in the pores and in the groundmass – dominate not only in E and EB but also in the Bt1 horizon. They also penetrate into lower Bt2 and Bt3 horizons where they combine with illuvial clay pedofeatures. The paleosol profile at the bottom of the gully shows synsedimentary development with several A, AE and E horizons reflecting several phases of geomorphic activity as a response to a complex environmental history during the last interglacial.

The organic-rich material has been studied from the bottom part of lacustrine sediments of the Lake Kasuciai, west- ern Lithuania. Radiocarbon dates and palaeobotanical data showed that these sediments accumulated between 13,500 and 9000 14C yr BP. The Late Glacial interstadial is defined by the dominance of Characeae and accumulation of carbonate. The Bølling is characterized by the pioneer taxa and the communities of open habitats. During the Allerød pine replaced the light demanding taxa that show development of a closer woodland habitat and dryness of climate. The short period be- tween Bølling and Allerød with increasing representation of Betula and plants typical for the highly eroded habitats could be correlated with Older Dryas. The onset of the Younger Dryas is marked by degradation of the forest cover and expansion of heliophytic grasses. Entire vegetation cover with birch and pine forest was settled during the Preborial. Formation of cal- careous sediments and appearance of thermophilous taxa confirm the climatic amelioration. Key words: environmental changes, pollen and plant macroremains, Late Glacial, western Lithuania. INTRODUCTION In Lithuania the rich data set describing the main features of ecological regime of this area since the 14,000 14C uncalibrated the Younger Dryas and Allerød environment was collected af- BP and until the end of the last termination.

ISSN 0300-9483. Blomvag, on the western coast of Norway north of Bergen, is a classical site in Norwegian Quaternary science. Foreshore marine sediments, named the Blomvag Beds and now dated to the Bølling-Allerød from 14.8 to 13.3 cal. ka BP, contain the richest Lateglacial bone fauna in Norway, numerous mollusc shells, driftwood, and flint that some archaeologists consider as the oldest traces of humans in Norway. The main theme of this paper is that the Blomvag Beds are overlain by a compact diamicton, named the Ulvøy Diamicton, which was interpreted previously as a basal till deposited during a glacial re-advance into the ocean during the Older Dryas (c. 14 cal. ka BP). Sediment sections of the Blomvag Beds and the Ulvøy Diamicton were exposed in ditches in a cemetery that was constructed in 1941–42 and have subsequently not been accessible. A number of radiocarbon and cosmo- genic 10Be exposure ages demonstrate that the diamicton is not likely to be a till because minimum deglaciation ages (14.8–14.5 cal. ka BP) from the vicinity pre-date the Ulvøy Diamicton.
