Background, aim, and scope This review deals with publications concerning the ~(10)Be surface exposure dating about the Last Glacial Termination. At the peak of the last ice age, expansive ice sheets covered large areas of the Northern Hemisphere. The reduction of this continental ice to about its present volume represents one of the largest and most rapid natural climate changes in Earths recent history. As a consequence, identifying the conditions and processes that triggered this deglaciation has been a major objective of paleoclimate research. Materials and methods The review shows the representative changes in the volume of continental ice throughout the Late Pleistocene. ~(10)Be surface exposure dating showing the schematic spatial extent of continental ice sheet at the Last Glacial Termination. Two large ice sheets survived the last termination. One is in Greenland and the other in Antarctica. This review emphasizes the proximity of the Laurentide and European ice sheets to areas of deepwater formation in the North Atlantic Ocean. In the North Atlantic, ice-rafting events indicate the supply of freshwater and icebergs. On the Southern Ocean, the extent of winter sea ice indicates the pattern of the NorthSouth Connections. Results Several publications have been identified show that certain factors and synergism can impact mechanism on and process of the last deglaciation. The ice sheets amount and rate of insolation rise may be important controls on terminations. As a result, Terminations invariably shows began when were at or close the maximum in the rate of insolation rise and their greatest area and volume. Discussion Research on the underlying mechanism of ~(10)Be surface exposure about dating the last deglaciation might help to explain some of the effects found in the termination with multiple feedbacks. In general, the rising insolation triggers the initial disintegration of a massive, isostatically compensated ice sheet, which in turn triggers a slowing of meridional overturning circulation (MOC) and hence a lowering of surface-ocean heat flux to the North Atlantic. Along with sea-ice formation, this collapse generates a cold anomaly in the North Atlantic, which weakens the Asian Monsoon through atmospheric teleconnections and also moves the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) to the south. Antarctic temperature increase could result from CO_2 rise, from the bipolar seesaw mechanism, and from southward shifts in atmospheric circulation patterns. Conclusions On the basis of review data, the exposed ages for glacial retreats dated by ~(10)Be during the last glacial termination over the world has been reviewed and the process and mechanismon how the last global ice age terminated. North Hemisphere summer insolation intensity and the growth of ice sheet over Northern Hemisphere triggerred the initial retreat of northern ice sheets. Melt water and icebergs entering the North Atlantic altered oceanic and atmospheric circulation and associated fluxes of heat and carbon, causing increases in atmospheric CO_2 and Antarctic temperatures. Both rising insolation and CO_2 concentration drove the termination with multiple positive feedbacks. Recommendations and perspectives If the review is any indication, we have surely not realized the full role of ~(10)Be surface exposure dating characterization in the last deglaciation. Developments in ~(10)Be surface exposure dating methods are improving the reliability of landscape evolution, glaciation, and paleoclimate interpretations. As more applications are discovered, Quaternary geologists are beginning to address questions that had never before been asked.
