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.

• 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.

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

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

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

• 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.

• 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.

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

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

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

• 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.

• 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.

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

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

• Würm glaciationBroader topic: This peak marks the most extensive ice conditions within the Würm period.

• Past sea levelBroader topic: Its low sea level exposed continental shelves and provides a major benchmark for reconstructions.
