Evolution Simulation of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood

Paleohydraulics of the last outburst flood from glacial Lake Agassiz and the 8200 BP cold event

During the last deglaciation of North America, huge proglacial lakes formed along the southern margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. The largest of these was glacial Lake Agassiz, which formed about 11:7 C kyr and drained into Hudson Bay about 7:7 C kyr ð8:45 cal kyrÞ: Overflow from these lakes was variably directed to the Mississippi, St. Lawrence and Mackenzie drainage systems and it is thought...

Digital landscapes of deglaciation: Identifying Late Quaternary glacial lake outburst

High resolution DEMs obtained from LiDAR topographic data have led to 9 improved landform inventories (e.g. landslides and fault scarps) and understanding of 10 geomorphic event frequency. Here we use airborne LiDAR mapping to investigate 11 meltwater pathways associated with the Tweed Valley palaeo ice-stream (UK). In particular 12 we focus on a gorge downstream of Palaeolake Milfield, previou...

Reduced North Atlantic deep water coeval with the glacial Lake Agassiz freshwater outburst.

An outstanding climate anomaly 8200 years before the present (B.P.) in the North Atlantic is commonly postulated to be the result of weakened overturning circulation triggered by a freshwater outburst. New stable isotopic and sedimentological records from a northwest Atlantic sediment core reveal that the most prominent Holocene anomaly in bottom-water chemistry and flow speed in the deep limb ...
