An interesting open access paper is:

Farmer JR, Pico T, Underwood OM, Cleveland Stout R, Granger J, Cronin TM,
Fripiat F, Martínez-García A, Haug GH, Sigman DM. The Bering Strait was
flooded 10,000 years before the Last Glacial Maximum. Proc Natl Acad Sci
U S A. 2023 Jan 3;120(1):e2206742119. doi: 10.1073/pnas.2206742119.
[www.pnas.org] open access

"We find that the Bering Strait was open from at least 46,000 until 35,700 y ago,
thus dating the last formation of the land bridge to within 10,000 y of the LGM.
This history requires that ice volume increased rapidly into the LGM. In addition,
it appears that humans migrated to the Americas as soon as the formation of
the land bridge allowed for their passage."

"between the opening of the Bering Land Bridge and the arrival of humans in
the Americas."

Yours,
