متن کاملEarly deglacial onset of southwestern Greenland ice-sheet retreat on the continental shelf
The Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) advanced onto the continental shelf during the last glacial period. While deglacial records for when the GrIS withdrew onto the modern coastline are relatively abundant, the timing of early GrIS retreat on the shelf is poorly constrained. Here we use planktic foraminiferal d18O, sediment grain size, sedimentation rates, and 14C ages in southeastern Davis Strait co...
متن کاملRecord ice retreat
The European Space Agency said that a series of photographs taken through September showed an ice-free passage along northern Canada, Alaska and Greenland as ice was retreating to its lowest level since images were first taken in 1978. The search for a route from the Atlantic around the top of North America and into the Pacific occupied explorers for centuries. Now a growing band of sailing adv...
متن کاملIce-flow and meltwater landform assemblages in the Gulf of Bothnia
The Gulf of Bothnia is a shallow, elongate basin dividing Sweden and Finland, and is located in the centre of the terrain formerly occupied by the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS). It is considered to have hosted a variety of different glaci-dynamic environments during the evolution of the FIS, but direct glacial geological or geomorphological evidence from the Gulf itself is almost entirely lacki...
متن کاملModels of Deltaic and Inner Continental Shelf Landform Evolution
The morphology of passive continental shelves is dictated by the input of sediments from rivers and their redistribution by waves, currents, and gravity-driven flows. The pathways followed by sediments sculpt a landscape whose diversity is rarely matched on Earth’s surface. Sediments are released to the shelf from triangularly shaped, elongated, and dendritic deltas. Barrier islands rise from g...
