9 Paleoclimate of the Last Glacial Maximum

10 Climap reconstruction of SST

11

12 Climap reconstructions of ice thickness do not match recent glacial reconstructions

15 Today precipitation and temperature control the distribution of vegetation in the Midwest.

16

17 Model simulations verified that colder conditions forced a change in vegetation, although these simulations do not fully capture proxy data.
