AB New Be dates for glacial landforms in the Fuentes Carrionas area (Cantabrian Mountains, nothernSpain) are presented. Mapped and dated landforms in Fuentes Carrionas made possible a palaeoglacierreconstruction for four glacial stages. Results were compared to other nearby palaeoenvironmental proxies, so afinal approximation on the mean annual temperature and annual precipitation that caused the four glacial advancestages is proposed. Glaciers reached their maximum extension at 36 ka, in a cold and dry environment. A secondadvance stage took place between 18.5 and 19.5 ka, during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), when glaciersadvanced in a wet environment, with positive rainfall anomalies. A third glacial advance was dated during the OldestDryas, in which climate shifted to extremely cold and dry conditions. Finally, a last stage has been identified andproposed to the Younger Dryas, in which precipitation anomalies are negligible. Our results confirm some of thepreviously made palaeoglacial and palaeoenvironmental inferences for the Iberian Peninsula, as well as provideQ4 valuable and accurate anomalies, which are useful for climate modelling.
