Abstract

A preliminary global volcanicity index time series was developed from the total available record of radiocarbon dated eruptions. This was combined with a previously developed simple model of Pleistocene glaciation based on the integral of the seasonal contrast of hemispheric irradiance. The combined integral gave a modeled glacial volume time-series which matched both the general variation of glacial volume in the last forty thousand years and the short-term events as well. Particularly well-modeled were the Allerod-Younger Dryas-Two Creeks complex of Late Glacial events and the Cochrane stillstand.
