Summary:
The papers presented here cover mountain glacier chronologies that span Hawaii plus five continents -- Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, and North America. However, the geographic coverage is neither uniform nor global but, instead, emphasizes areas where vital new chronologies have been published and where a new understanding regarding mountain glacier chronologies has been developed. The continental summaries that are included in these papers make it clear that the results belie important mechanisms of mountain glacier responses to climatic fluctuation.
