• The timing and course of the last deglaciation (19,000–6,000 years BP) are essential components for understanding　the dynamics of large ice sheets (Lindstrom and MacAyeal,　1993) and their effects on Earth’s isostasy (Nakada and　Lambeck, 1989; Lambeck, 1993; Peltier, 1994), as well as the　complex relationship between freshwater fluxes to the ocean,　thermohaline circulation, and, hence, global climate during　the Late Pleistocene and the Holocene. Moreover, the lastdeglaciation is generally seen as a possible analogue for the　environmental changes and increased sea level that Earth　may experience because of the greenhouse effect, related　thermal expansion of oceans, and the melting of polar ice　sheets.
