Abstract
Abstract Marked contrasts in the extent and timing of glaciation exist between mountain ranges in Northern India, likely reflecting temporal and spatial variability in the south Asian monsoon, mid-latitude westerlies, and precipitation gradients. In arid zones, the extent of glaciation has become increasingly restricted throughout the Late Quaternary, whereas in monsoonal regions pre-Late Glacial moraine successions is generally poorly preserved possibly because latter advances were more extensive. On millennial timescales, glacier oscillations likely reflect times of positive mass-balance driven by increased insolation and intensified monsoon activity.
