Extended Data Fig. 8

As prior information, all radiocarbon dates or probability density functions of sediment unit boundaries are grouped into phases according to geographical and/or stratigraphical context. A phase in this context refers to a retreat (or advance) of the ice sheet in a specific area. The phases are ordered in a sequence following the relative chronological order. The PDF’s of unmodeled conventional 14C dates are calibrated using the new Norwegian Sea 14C age reconstruction (Fig. 2) and is shown as light gray. Dark gray mark the modeled posteriori PDF of the same dates. Red PDF’s show the posteriori age probabilities of undated events that corresponds to reconstructed ice margins depicted in Fig. 1.
