The team used beryllium isotopes to date 76 samples from the ridge of debris that formed after the Cordilleran ice sheet retreated to determine the new timeline. Scientists believe the demise of the ...

The Cordilleran Ice Sheet covered large parts of North America during the Pleistocene – or last ice age – and was similar in mass to the Greenland Ice Sheet. Previous research estimated that it ...

The Cordilleran ice sheet fails earlier in the chain of reaction, “and then that signal is transmitted [from the Pacific] around the world like falling dominoes. ...

During the Pleistocene, the Cordilleran Ice Sheet blanketed much of North America. Previous studies have found evidence of the ice sheet's presence in western Canada as late as 12,500 years ago.
