Timing of glaciation during the last glacial cycle: evaluating the concept of a global 'Last Glacial Maximum'(LGM)
PD Hughes, PL Gibbard, J Ehlers - Earth-Science Reviews, 2013 - Elsevier
It has long been known that mountain glaciers and continental ice sheets around the globe
reached their respective maximum extent at different times during the last glacial cycle, often …

Ice-sheet grounding-zone wedges (GZWs) on high-latitude continental margins
CL Batchelor, JA Dowdeswell - Marine Geology, 2015 - Elsevier
Grounding-zone wedges (GZWs) are asymmetric sedimentary depocentres which form
through the rapid accumulation of glacigenic debris along a line-source at the grounding …

Submarine glacial landforms and rates of ice-stream collapse
The rate of deglacial ice-sheet retreat across polar continental shelves, and possible ice-
stream collapse and sea-level rise, has been much debated. High-resolution imagery of …

Size, shape and spatial arrangement of mega‐scale glacial lineations from a large and diverse dataset
Mega‐scale glacial lineations (MSGLs) are a characteristic landform on ice stream beds.
Solving the puzzle of their formation is key to understanding how ice interacts with its bed …
