Deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet from the Last Glacial Maximum
Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2017 The last deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) was associated with major reorganisations in the ocean-climate system and its retreat also represents a valuable analogue for understanding the rates and mechanisms of ice sheet collapse. This paper

The Middle Wisconsinan History of the Laurentide Ice Sheet [PDF]
Géographie physique et Quaternaire, 1987 Evidence for Middle Wisconsinan ice limits and climates comes from sites scattered around the periphery of the Laurentide Ice domain and from the Hudson Bay Lowlands.

The collapse of the Cordilleran–Laurentide ice saddle and early opening of the Mackenzie Valley, Northwest Territories, Canada, constrained by 10Be exposure dating [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Deglaciation of the northwestern Laurentide Ice Sheet in the central Mackenzie Valley opened the northern portion of the deglacial Ice-Free Corridor between the Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets and a drainage route to the Arctic Ocean.

Sensitivity of Heinrich-type ice-sheet surge characteristics to boundary forcing perturbations [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2023 Heinrich-type ice-sheet surges are one of the prominent signals of glacial climate variability. They are characterised as abrupt, quasi-periodic episodes of ice-sheet instabilities during which large numbers of icebergs are released from the Laurentide ...

Journal of Maps, 2023 The majority of the Northwest Territories of mainland Canada was covered by the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum. The increasing coverage of high resolution remotely sensed data provides new opportunities to map the glacial ...

The impact of spatially varying ice sheet basal conditions on sliding at glacial time scales
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Spatially variable basal conditions are thought to govern how ice sheets behave at glacial time scales (>1000 years) and responsible for changes in dynamics between the core and peripheral regions of the Laurentide and Fennoscandian ice sheets.

The glacial geomorphology of the Mackenzie Mountains region, Canada
Journal of Maps, 2023 During the Last Glacial Maximum, the Mackenzie Mountains region was glaciated by three distinct ice sources; the Laurentide Ice Sheet, the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, and independent montane glaciers. Rapid ice sheet thinning of the Laurentide-Cordilleran ice

Simulating the Early Holocene demise of the Laurentide Ice Sheet with BISICLES (public trunk revision 3298) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2020 Simulating the demise of the Laurentide Ice Sheet covering Hudson Bay in the Early Holocene (10–7 ka) is important for understanding the role of accelerated changes in ice sheet topography and melt in the 8.2 ka event, a century long ...

Laurentide Ice Sheet basal temperatures during the last glacial cycle as inferred from borehole data [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2016 Thirteen temperature–depth profiles ( ≥ 1500 m) measured in boreholes in eastern and central Canada were inverted to determine the ground surface temperature histories during and after the last glacial cycle.
