| Jun 16, 2015 at 10:39 | comment | added | user2821 | @RecognizeEvilasWaste I'm not questioning the link between sea-level and global temperature (even if it's not proportional), but I tried to understand your question about regional climate in Yakutiya during LGM and your use of eustatic sea level to illustrate it. I think you over interpret global temperature as a direct control of regional patterns. Some temperature estimates are in the articles I suggested and probably better and more interesting research in dr. Zimov's publications, as suggested by gerrit. I can also agree that the color scheme used by Ray and Adams is a bit unfortunate. | |

He's a scientist based in Cherskii at the Arctic coast of northeastern Siberia and he is an extraordinarily memorable individual and a great scientist. If I recall correctly, albedo was one aspect, biodiversity and bioproductivity was much higher before human hunting made mammoths extinct and Siberia turned from a park landscape to a dense forest. I don't recall the details, but do look up his work. | |
| Jun 16, 2015 at 10:16 | comment | added | Recognize Evil as Waste | @Tbbe There is no need to conceal my purpose by copy of the chart title and ask me "what is the purpose?" afterwards, screaming that it is not a temperature. I can only repeat once again that I have provided the chart to insight the temperatures since glacier retreat since I do not have the average temperature during that period. The sea level is a good indicator since temperature is proportional to it. We have got sea level rise because of global warming. We had -100 m at ice age because it was colder. I assume that there is an insightful correlation and well measured sea level. | |

| Jun 16, 2015 at 8:22 | comment | added | user2821 | This might also help you, it's a bit old, but explains some of the regional patterns: researchgate.net/profile/Mary_Edwards5/publication/… | |
| Jun 16, 2015 at 8:21 | comment | added | user2821 | It IS a figure of sea-level rise, not regional temperature. I'm no expert in Siberian glaciation, but to help you in the right direction, you should probably look for precipitation together with temperature to understand how ice sheets are formed. | |
| Jun 16, 2015 at 8:13 | comment | added | Recognize Evil as Waste | @Tbbe The purpose of the figure was to insight the global temperature rise during last 20 000 years to suggest what could we have 12 000 years ago, when Siberia turned from a thriving forest into a tundra. You replaced it with your explanation which explains nothing and ask what is the purpose of that? | |
| Jun 16, 2015 at 8:08 | comment | added | Recognize Evil as Waste | @Tbbe there are too many color zones with too few colors that makes it difficult to map territories to legend. Trying to reason myself I see that we have Forest steppe in the very north of Canada and permanent ice sheet below it, almost down the Mexico. In Asia, the article says, permafrost reached Běijīng, where we see Tundra on the map. Tundra is the current state of Eastern Siberia. I therefore cannot understand how could it happen that we have temperature rise anomaly in the northern Berigia whereas surroundings and especially southern regions are cooled. | |

Moved the figure to combine the sentince, as suggested by Jan Doggen. Still, further edit is needed to clarify the question and background.

| Jun 16, 2015 at 7:46 | comment | added | Jan Doggen | @Recognize Your question has some weird broken-off sentences around the picture. Can you edit and fix it? I looked, but I have no idea what you want to say there. | |

Started to clarify and clean tge question. Mission not completed...

| Jun 15, 2015 at 23:42 | comment | added | user2821 | Climate is a complicated and complex field. Precipitation is the source of glaciers and changed wind patterns distributed moisture and temperatures differently. Moreover, 'whole Europe' was never under 1km of ice. This: eprints.uni-kiel.de/3566/1/2004_Svendsen-etal-Late_QSR-23.pdf and this: sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0277379108000346 discuss some of the aspects, but I don't know any good references for eastern Siberia. | |
