En paléoclimatologie, le terme Tardiglaciaire désigne la dernière phase du Pléistocène, précédant l'époque actuelle de l'Holocène. Le Tardiglaciaire correspond à l'ultime subdivision de la dernière glaciation(glaciation de Würm dans les Alpes), durant laquelle le climat se réchauffe globalement même s’il est marqué par des oscillations froides. Il précède la période interglaciaire actuelle(on parle encore de postglaciaire), globalement chaude, qu'est l'Holocène. 2, record 1, French, - Tardiglaciaire

[...] la concavité basale est [...] due à l'accumulation. C'est que nos versants ne sont pas en profil d’équilibre. Les débris s’accumulent à la base parce que l'évacuation par le talweg ne se fait plus, et elle ne se fait plus parce que, en raison du réchauffement climatique qui a suivi la dernière glaciation, l'évaporation a diminué les débits des cours d’eau et entraîné, par là, leur impuissance à charrier ce qui se présente à eux. Dans certains cas, le cours d’eau au fond de la vallée [...] a disparu [...]; alors, les matériaux descendus du versant et dits colluviaux(tandis que ceux qu'apportent les cours d’eau sont dits alluviaux) empâtent le fond et lui donnent un profil transversal en berceau. 3, record 15, French, - accumulation%20alluviale
