Summary
Abstract: Timing of the Last Glacial Maximum from observed sea-level minima.

Faunal assemblages and preservation status of sediments from Bonaparte Gulf,
Australia, were used to reconstruct global ice volume, and to constrain the
timing of the Last Glacial Maximum and the initial phase of deglaciation.
Results indicate a rapid decrease in ice volume (by about 10%) within a few
hundred years, beginning at 19,000 ± 250 years before present.
