TL;DR: In this paper, the maximum limits of the Eurasian ice sheets during four glaciations have been reconstructed: (1) the Late Saalian (>140 ka), (2) the Early Weichselian (100-80 ka),(3) the Middle Weichsellian (60-50 ka), and (4) the late Weichselsian (25-15 ka) based on satellite data and aerial photographs combined with geological field investigations in Russia and Siberia, and with marine seismic and sediment core data.

TL;DR: In this paper, a proposal for a common chronostratigraphical classification of the Quaternary in Norden (and partly continental NW Europe) is made, based on the sequence of glacials/interglacials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new time-slice reconstruction of the Eurasian ice sheets (British-Irish, Svalbard-Barents-Kara Seas and Scandinavian) documenting the spatial evolution of these interconnected ice sheets every 1000 years from 25 to 10 years and at four selected time periods back to 40 years.

TL;DR: The mean apparent radiocarbon ages of marine shells, colleted alive before the initiation of atomic bomb testing, and also before the main input of dead carbon derived from fossil fuels, are found to be 440 yr for the coast of Norway, 510 yr for Spitsbergen, and 750 yr for Ellesmere Island, Arctic Canada as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This paper reviewed the geological observations and interpretations regarding the size and timing of the Late Weichselian Barents ice sheet, combined with numerical modelling of its formation in order to produce a reconstruction of ice sheet extent and behaviour.
