Brief Communication: Can recent ice discharges following the Larsen-B ice-shelf collapse be used to infer the driving mechanisms of millennial-scale variations of the Laurentide ice sheet? [PDF]

, 2011
Discussion paper.The effects of an ice-shelf collapse on inland glacier dynamics have recently been widely studied, especially since the breakup of Antarctic Peninsula's Larsen-B ice shelf in 2002.

A stretched polar vortex increased mid-latitude climate variability during the Last Glacial Maximum [PDF]

Climate of the Past
The Arctic stratospheric polar vortex (SPV) is a key driver of winter weather and has been found to modify winter climate variability and its predictability in Eurasia and North America on inter-annual and decadal timescales. However, to what extent this

Dynamical response of the southwestern Laurentide Ice Sheet to rapid Bølling–Allerød warming [PDF]

The Cryosphere
The shift in climate that occurred between the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the Early Holocene (ca. 18–12 kyr BP) displayed rates of temperature increase similar to present-day warming trends.

Shifting sediment depocenters track ice-margin retreat in Baffin Bay

Communications Earth & Environment
Reconstructing the depositional history of Baffin Bay allows insights into the deglacial retreat of the Laurentide, Innuitian, and Greenland ice sheets from their maximum extent during the Last Glacial Maximum.

Northeast Glaciers [PDF]

, 2003
This reference guide provides a brief review of glaciers in the Northeastern U.S. It then focuses on the glacial affects in four areas, an inland basin near the Finger Lakes area of New York, the Appalachian/Piedmont through New York and Pennsylvania ...

About the collapse of a huge ice sheet lake on the Laurentide ice sheet.

, 2020
A theory postulates that a huge ice lake named “Lake Agassiz” existed near the border between Canada and the United States during the last glacial age.

Westerly and Laurentide ice sheet fluctuations during the last glacial maximum

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
The last glacial maximum (LGM) is widely acknowledged as the most recent cold period representing maximum global ice conditions. However, substantial warming is observed over Northern Hemisphere.

Using GIS to Quantify Patterns of Glacial Erosion on Northwest Iceland: Implications for Independent Ice Sheets

, 2009
Glacial erosion patterns on northwest Iccliind are quantified using a Geographic Information System (GIS) in order to interpret subglacial characteristics of part of northwest Iceland affected by ice sheet glaciation.
