Record #83333:
Late Quaternary surface fluctuations of Beardmore Glacier, Antarctica / George H. Denton, B.G. Andersen, H.W. Conway.
Title: | Late Quaternary surface fluctuations of Beardmore Glacier, Antarctica / George H. Denton, B.G. Andersen, H.W. Conway. |
Author(s): | Denton, George H. Andersen, B. G. Conway, H. W. |
Date: | 1986. |
In: | Antarctic Journal of the United States. (1986.), Vol. 21(5) (1986) |
Abstract: | Because of its location and adjacent ice-free areas, glacier is particularly well-suited to document ice-sheet behaviour during Late Quaternary. This behaviour can illustrate role of Antarctic ice sheet in global ice ages. During 1985-86 season, glacial drift sheets were mapped to resolve conflicting interpretations of Late Quaternary surface-level changes of glacier. Results support theory that widespread grounding occurred in area of present Ross Ice Shelf and Ross Sea during Late Quaternary. |
