Detailed chronologies for the onset and dynamics of foreland glaciations in the Danube catchment are scarce. Reuther (2007) report exposure ages of 15e17 ka from the Lake Starnberg region around (Ivy-Ochs et al., 2008), whereas Swiss perialpine lakes were ice-free at 20 ka ( Fig. 10H; Heiri et al., 2014). KW2015 **data** indicate the presence of a polar desert representing the coldest and driest conditions around 25e23 ka, in agreement to authors that suggest LGM glacier maxima during this period (Preusser et al., 2011;Monegato et al., 2017). Chronologically robust, KW2015 indicates comparable paleoenvironmental conditions around 29e30 ka, suggesting a correspondence to earlier Alpine glacier advances, consistent with the evidence from Baumkirchen (Sp€ otl et al., 2013), the Nesseltalgraben (Mayr et al., 2019), and the scheme from Heiri et al. (2014). Taking KW2015 reworked layers as reference, we may assume considerable Alpine glacier advances around 29e30 ka, followed by a retreat, another major advance peaking around 24e25 ka and a final moderate readvance around 20e21 ka. These fluctuations largely correspond to Ca 2þ maxima of the NGRIP dust record (Fischer et al., 2007) and indicate a coupling to hemispheric paleoclimatic evolution with considerable support of glaciations by Heinrich events 3 and 2 and ice volume reductions during GI 4, 3, and 2.
