The Effects of the Laurentide Ice Sheet on North American Climate during the Last Glacial Maximum [PDF]

, 1987
A climate model, consisting of an atmospheric general circulation model coupled with a simple model of the oceanic mixed layer, is used to investigate the effects of the continental ice distribution of the last glacial maximum (LGM) on North American ...

Glacial geomorphology of Newfoundland, Canada

Journal of Maps
We present a synthesis of glacial geomorphology comprising Newfoundland and the surrounding continental shelf. During the last glaciation, this region was encompassed by the Newfoundland Ice Cap that coalesced with the Laurentide Ice Sheet and extended ...

Reconstructing the confluence zone between Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets along the Rocky Mountain Foothills, southwest Alberta [PDF]

, 2016
Landform mapping near the Athabasca valley was fundamental to determining whether the Late Wisconsinan Laurentide and Cordilleran Ice Sheets (LIS, CIS) coalesced. In this paper we examine the detailed landform record using new LiDAR digital elevation and

Glacial landforms of northwest Saskatchewan

Journal of Maps, 2017
A comprehensive map of glacial landforms is presented for the area of northwest Saskatchewan, Canada. Remote sensing of 1-arc (∼30 m resolution) Shuttle Radar Topography Mission digital elevation models over an area of approximately 15,000 km2 were used ...

Pleistocene Montane Glaciations in the Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories [PDF]

, 1992
During the Pleistocene the Mackenzie Mountains were affected by a series of glaciations. Through all the glaciations a single pattern seems to have been repeated: a Cordilleran ice sheet formed to the west of the continental divide and montane valley ...

New Constraints on the Timing and Pattern of Deglaciation in the Húnaflói Bay Region of Northwest Iceland Using Cosmogenic 36CA Dating and Geomorphic Mapping

, 2017
Understanding the evolution and timing of changes in ice sheet geometry and extent in Iceland during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and subsequent deglaciation continues to stimulate much active research.

The Quaternary Geologic History of the Canadian Rocky Mountains [PDF]

, 1992
The Canadian Rocky Mountains figured prominently during the glacial history of western Canada. First as a western limit or boundary to the Laurentide Ice Sheet, second as an eastern margin of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, and finally as a centre of local ...

Millennial-scale interaction between ice sheets and ocean circulation during marine isotope stage 100

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2016
Waxing/waning of the ice sheets and the associated change in thermohaline circulation have played an important role in global climate change since major continental ice sheets appeared in the northern hemisphere about 2.75 million years ago.

Collapse of the North American ice saddle 14,500 years ago caused widespread cooling and reduced ocean overturning circulation [PDF]

, 2017
Collapse of ice sheets can cause significant sea level rise and widespread climate change. We examine the climatic response to meltwater generated by the collapse of the Cordilleran-Laurentide ice saddle (North America) ~14.5 thousand years ago (ka ...

Paleo-ice sheet reconstructions constrained by GIA and geological data for use in climate models [PDF]

, 2017
Paleo-ice sheet reconstructions are complicated by large uncertainties, particularly since it is usually only possible to infer thickness from indirect means such as the response of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA).
