Mid‐Holocene Grounding Line Retreat and Readvance at Whillans Ice Stream, West Antarctica

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Understanding ice sheet evolution through the geologic past can help constrain ice sheet models that predict future ice dynamics. Existing geological records of grounding line retreat in the Ross Sea, Antarctica, have been confined to ice‐free and ...

Palaeo-ice streams

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2001
Abstract The location and behaviour of ice streams is one of the most important controls on ice sheet configuration and stability. In order to reconstruct former ice sheets we need to know ice stream location and timing. Once identified, the beds of palaeo-ice streams provide an unprecedented opportunity to glean information about their basal ...

Old Ice Streams

Science, 2000
GEOLOGY The size and behavior of past Antarctic ice sheets are essential elements in the quest to understand how and why climate changed in the past and what the consequences may be in the future. Modern observations have shown that Antarctic ice flow is slow and diffuse over most of the interior of the ice sheet but focuses into relatively rapid ...

Paleo-Ice Streams and Ice Stream Boundaries, Ross Sea, Antarctica

1997
During the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer 1994–01 and 1995–01 cruises, approximately 7141 km of 50 in3 airgun seismic profiles and 12,150 km of 3.5 kHz trackline data were collected from the Ross Sea continental shelf. Ross Sea is a broad embayment, approximately 1500 km wide and 900 km long, on the Antarctic coast (Fig. 1). Water depths range from less than

Laurentide ice streaming on the Canadian Shield: A conflict with the soft-bedded ice stream paradigm?

Geology, 2003
Elucidating the controls on the location and vigor of ice streams is crucial to understanding the processes that lead to fast disintegration of ice flows and ice sheets. In the former North American Laurentide ice sheet, ice stream occurrence appears to have been governed by topographic troughs or areas of soft-sediment geology.

A palaeo-ice stream of the British Ice Sheet in eastern Scotland [PDF]

open access: possibleBoreas, 2006
Terrestrial and marine subglacial landforms in eastern Scotland are used to evaluate previously unsubstantiated notions of ice streaming within the British Ice Sheet (BIS) in this area during the last glacial cycle. Employing both regional and local-scale data sets, we describe onshore landform-sediment assemblages, offshore geomorphology and ...

Rutford Ice Stream, Antarctica

2013
Rutford Ice Stream is in many ways a typical Antarctic outlet glacier. Constrained by a subglacial-bed trough to the east of the Ellsworth Mountains, it drains an area of 49,000 km2 of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Varying in width from 20 to 30 km, flowing fast (up to 400 m/a) for more than 150 km before it starts to float, and over 2000 m thick along
