Summary:
Reconstructing climate during the Last Glacial Maximum, (LMG), of 26,000 to 19,000 years ago, provides important insights into understanding climate responses to radiative forcing that differed significantly from the present. Presented in this paper are new 3He surface exposure ages on moraines and bedrock near the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii. These refine the age of the Mauna Kea Ice Cap during the Local Last Glacial Maximum, (LLGM), and identify a subsequent fluctuation of the ice margin.
