The Late Quaternary sedimentary record on Scoresby Sund, East Greenland / J.A. Dowdeswell, Gabriele Uenzelmann-Neben, Robert J. Whittington, Peter Marienfeld.
Title: | The Late Quaternary sedimentary record on Scoresby Sund, East Greenland / J.A. Dowdeswell, Gabriele Uenzelmann-Neben, Robert J. Whittington, Peter Marienfeld. |
Author(s): | Dowdeswell, J. A. Uenzelmann-Neben, Gabriele. Whittington, Robert J. Marienfeld, Peter. |
Date: | 1994. |
In: | Boreas. (1994.), Vol. 23(4) (1994) |
Abstract: | Geophysical and geological investigations were undertaken to characterise nature and chronology of marine sedimentary record. Seismic records show that 70% of outer fjord system is covered by 10 m of unlithified sediments, scoured by icebergs above 550 m depth. 90% of core material is massive diamicton of Holocene age from iceberg rafting and turbid meltwater. Article details deductions made from local data concerning ice positions and moraines. |
