Data for Quaternary Science Reviews Paper JQSR 5235- Evidence for slow late-glacial ice retreat in the upper Rangitata Valley, South Island, New Zealand.

Data relating to the collection of CRN samples from boulders on moraines on the lower flanks of the Butler and Brabizon Downs in the Rangitata Valley New Zealand. The study aimed to test whether the moraines related to one or many glacial advances and recessions. The study in QSR shows that the moraine sequence on the lower flank of the valley relates to a retreat of a single glacier at the end of the last ice age. It shows gradual ice evacuation from this area between c 21 and c 17 ka.

新西兰拉尼塔塔山谷Butler和Brabizon downs下冰川堆积物上的CRN样本采集数据。本研究旨在验证冰川堆积物与单一或多次冰川进退之间的关系。QSR研究结果表明，山谷下缘的冰川堆积物序列与末次冰期末单一冰川的退缩相关。该研究揭示了约21至17千年前该区域冰体逐渐撤退的过程。
