dc.description.abstractThis poster summarises information on the timing and possible causes of glaciation in New Zealand prior to the LGM (26.5-19 ka). We recognise five regionally identifiable advances in MIS 4 and MIS 3 in South Island, NZ, including one which may mark the start of the LGM, but may also precede it. These advances, all secured by CRN and/or luminescence chronologies, occurred at 65 ± 3 ka, 47.5 ± 3 ka, 38.5 ± 2 ka, 31.5 ± 3 ka, and at 26.5 ± 2 ka. Not all advances have clear linkages to climate but some are coincident with periods of Southern Hemisphere insolation minima (65ka, and 31.5 ka advances), while another occurs during a notably cold phase (38.5 ka) and precipitation may play a role (65 ka and 26.5 ka advances). The timing of greatest glacial extent in the last glacial cycle is not simultaneous across New Zealand. The MIS 4 advance was the greatest in the southern South Island, while the MIS 3/2 advances (26.5-25 ka) were greatest in the central South Island. We attribute these spatio-temporal changes in the timing of maximum glaciation to precipitation changes related to a northward shift in the track of the southern-hemisphere westerlies.en_AU
