Fig. 5: Spatial patterns of modelled erosion.

a Point density cloud of total glacial erosion by elevation during the last glacial cycle. b Total and mean glacial erosion for the last glacial cycle by latitude. Coloured banding are areas of relatively intense erosion (see c) over the entire cycle and the last deglaciation (<22.7 ka BP). c Changing intensity of glacial erosion during deglaciation (<22.7 ka BP) compared to the long-term mean. Positive values indicate increasing rates of erosion during deglaciation, and negative values indicate decreasing erosion rates.
