The Occurrence of Coastal Sea Ice Leads and their Impact on the Beaufort Gyre

Creator:

Lewis, Benjamin J.

Abstract:

Leads are long fractures wide enough for a ship to travel through the ice pack. Sea ice acts as a barrier between the ocean and the atmosphere, whereas leads allow the transfer of heat and moisture between the two. Leads play a role for marine mammals and are hunting grounds...

Early to Late Holocene Surface Exposure Ages From Two Marine-Terminating Outlet Glaciers in Northwest Greenland

Creator:

Reusche, Melissa M., Marcott, Shaun A., Ceperley, Elizabeth G., Barth, Aaron M., Brook, Edward J., Mix, Alan C., and Caffee, Marc W.

Abstract:

Terrestrial chronologies from southern Greenland provide a detailed deglacial history of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS). The northern GIS margin history, however, is less established. Here we present surface exposure ages from moraines associated with two large outlet glaciers, Petermann and Humboldt, in the northwestern sector of the GIS. These...

Late Cenozoic Climate, Ice-sheet and Earth-surface Evolution Derived from Terrestrial and Marine Sedimentary Archives

Creator:

Bill, Nicholas S.

Abstract:

The goals of this dissertation are centered on understanding changes in Earth surface and climate systems through the use of geologic proxies as records of past changes in these systems. Specifically, this dissertation (1) establishes a new chronology for retreat of the Ross Sea sector of the West Antarctic Ice...
