Inventory of dated moraines in the Himalaya to support: Harrison S et al. Will landscape responses reduce glacier sensitivity to climate change in High Mountain Asia? The Cryosphere, egusphere-2024-4033

To support our paper (Harrison S et al. Will landscape responses reduce glacier sensitivity to climate change in High Mountain Asia? The Cryosphere, egusphere-2024-4033) we compiled published studies that have dated Himalayan moraine sequences from the Western, Central and Eastern Himalaya. and these are listed in the file. We analysed moraine ages from three time periods: the regional Last Glacial Maximum from 18 to 24 ka, a period covering the regional Younger Dryas from 12,880 and 11,640 ka, and the regional Little Ice Age between 1300-1600 AD. While there is evidence that glaciers in several areas reached their late Pleistocene limits earlier than Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 2, overall these data show that glaciers in the Himalaya have not receded much further behind dated glacier limits over these time periods.
