The 56 pages that link to Last Glacial Maximum, each with the reason it gives.

• PleistoceneBroader topic: It offers a well-studied snapshot of Pleistocene climate and human habitats.

• PaleoclimatologyBroader topic: Its global temperature and ice extent are reconstructed from many independent archives.

• HoloceneCompared with: It represents the cold glacial conditions that preceded the Holocene transition.

• Persian GulfRelated: Lower sea levels exposed much of the gulf basin and altered regional coastlines.

• PaleoclimateBroader topic: Its abundant evidence supports detailed reconstructions of a markedly colder world.

• Ice coreBroader topic: Ice cores help reconstruct the cold climate and atmospheric conditions of this interval.

• Pleistocene megafaunaRelated: Its environmental extremes shaped the ranges of many Pleistocene animals.

• Quaternary extinction eventRelated: Its aftermath brought major environmental change before many extinctions.

• Taiwan StraitRelated: Lower sea levels then exposed much of the strait’s shallow seabed.

• Younger DryasNarrower topic: It anchors the broader glacial climate from which postglacial warming began.

• ClimateBroader topic: Its climate provides a well-studied example of a substantially colder global state.

• Glacial isostatic adjustmentRelated: Reconstructing its ice loads is essential because the resulting deformation persists today.

• BeringiaRelated: Low sea levels during this interval exposed the land bridge.

• Bering StraitRelated: Low sea levels at this time exposed land across the strait.

• Sea-level changeBroader topic: Water locked in ice lowered global sea level by more than 100 meters.

• Laurentide Ice SheetRelated: The Laurentide reached its largest extent during this interval.

• Little Ice AgeCompared with: It was a much larger global ice-age event, not another name for the Little Ice Age.

• Sunda ShelfBroader topic: Sea level fell far enough during this interval to expose extensive shelf terrain.

• Peopling of the AmericasNarrower topic: Its ice sheets and low sea levels reshaped migration routes and habitable areas.

• Pleistocene glaciationBroader topic: It provides a well-studied snapshot of near-maximum Pleistocene ice extent.

• Eustatic sea-level changeBroader topic: Large volumes of water stored in ice left global sea level roughly 120 meters below today.

• Dansgaard–Oeschger eventNarrower topic: It provides a broader glacial context for the older events in the sequence.

• GlaciologyBroader topic: Its ice limits show the scale of past glaciation and its lasting landscape effects.

• Ice ageBroader topic: It marks the most extensive recent configuration of ice sheets and low sea levels.

• SundalandRelated: Low sea levels then exposed much of Sundaland.

• Bering Land BridgeBroader topic: Low sea levels during this interval exposed extensive land across the Bering region.

• Korea StraitRelated: Lower sea levels then reshaped the strait and nearby migration routes.

• Last Glacial PeriodBroader topic: It marks the peak ice extent within the Last Glacial Period.

• Yosemite ValleyRelated: Sierra Nevada glaciers expanded during this broader cold interval and shaped the valley.

• GlaciationBroader topic: It provides a well-studied example of extensive recent glaciation.

• Java SeaRelated: Lower sea levels exposed much of the shelf now covered by the Java Sea.

• Marine isotope stagesBroader topic: Its timing is commonly associated with marine isotope stage 2.

• QuaternaryBroader topic: Its deposits and sea-level evidence anchor reconstructions of the last glaciation.

• Arafura SeaRelated: Lower sea levels exposed much of the Arafura shelf during this interval.

• Lake BonnevilleRelated: Its climate context helps explain the water balance that sustained the lake.

• Glacial periodBroader topic: Its peak ice extent offers a snapshot of a mature glacial climate.

• Quaternary glaciationBroader topic: It is the most extensively mapped recent peak of Quaternary ice expansion.

• British IslesRelated: Its ice and low sea levels transformed the archipelago’s landforms and connections.

• Sahul ShelfRelated: Low sea levels during this glacial peak exposed large areas of the shelf.

• European bisonRelated: Its climate shifts altered the habitats and distributions of ancestral bison.

• Gulf of CarpentariaBroader topic: Sea level was low enough then to expose the gulf’s seabed.

• InterglacialCompared with: It contrasts the cold, ice-expanded conditions that preceded the current interglacial.

• GravettianRelated: The later Gravettian overlapped the onset of severe glacial conditions that reshaped European habitats.

• Post-glacial reboundRelated: Its ice thickness and extent set the initial conditions for much of today’s rebound.

• Irish elkRelated: Its changing climates altered the environments occupied by Irish elk populations.

• Marine regressionBroader topic: Global sea level was much lower, exposing broad continental shelves and shifting shorelines seaward.

• MagdalenianRelated: Magdalenian communities lived in landscapes reshaped by the glacial climate and its retreat.

• Woolly rhinocerosRelated: Woolly rhinoceroses occupied extensive northern ranges during this cold interval.

• Cave bearRelated: Climate changes around this interval affected cave bear habitats and populations.

• Paleo-IndiansRelated: Glacial conditions reshaped coastlines, habitats, and possible migration routes.
