A sediment model and retreat history for the Ross Ice (Sheet) Shelf in the Western Ross Sea since the Last Glacial Maximum
A sediment model and retreat history for the Ross Ice (Sheet) Shelf in the Western Ross Sea since the Last Glacial Maximum" (2007). Related Publications from ANDRILL Affiliates. Summary Three sediment gravity cores collected from beneath the McMurdo Ice Shelf and six piston cores from the Erebus Basin (in McMurdo Sound) and the Lewis Basin (north of Ross Island) were analysed in order to constr...
متن کاملDynamics of the last glacial maximum Antarctic ice-sheet and its response to ocean forcing.
Retreat of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) Antarctic ice sheet is thought to have been initiated by changes in ocean heat and eustatic sea level propagated from the Northern Hemisphere (NH) as northern ice sheets melted under rising atmospheric temperatures. The extent to which spatial variability in ice dynamics may have modulated the resultant pattern and timing of decay of the Antarctic ice s...
متن کاملWindblown Pliocene diatoms and East Antarctic Ice Sheet retreat
Marine diatoms in tillites along the Transantarctic Mountains (TAMs) have been used to suggest a diminished East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) during Pliocene warm periods. Updated ice-sheet modelling shows significant Pliocene EAIS retreat, creating marine embayments into the Wilkes and Aurora basins that were conducive to high diatom productivity and rapid accumulation of diatomaceous sediments....
متن کاملAntarctic last interglacial isotope peak in response to sea ice retreat not ice-sheet collapse
Several studies have suggested that sea-level rise during the last interglacial implies retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS). The prevalent hypothesis is that the retreat coincided with the peak Antarctic temperature and stable water isotope values from 128,000 years ago (128 ka); very early in the last interglacial. Here, by analysing climate model simulations of last interglacial WA...
متن کاملBe ages from central east Greenland constrain the extent of the Greenland ice sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum
Traditional ice sheet reconstructions have suggested two distinctly different ice sheet regimes along the East Greenland continental margin during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM): ice to the shelf break south of Scoresby Sund and ice extending no further than to the inner shelf at and north of Scoresby Sund. We report new Be ages from erratic boulders perched at 250ma.s.l. on the Kap Brewster pe...
