Freshwater Forcing of Abrupt Climate Change During the Last Glaciation
Peter U. Clark,Shawn J. Marshall,Garry K. C. Clarke,Steven W. Hostetler,Joseph M. Licciardi,James T. Teller +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that periods of increased freshwater flow to the North Atlantic occurred at the same time as reductions in the formation of North Atlantic Deep Water, thus providing a mechanism for observed climate variability that may be generally characteristic of times of intermediate global ice volume.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ice-dammed lakes and rerouting of the drainage of northern Eurasia during the Last Glaciation.
Jan Mangerud,Martin Jakobsson,Helena Alexanderson,Valery Astakhov,Garry K. C. Clarke,Mona Henriksen,Christian Hjort,Gerhard Krinner,Juha Pekka Lunkka,Per Möller,Andrew S. Murray,Olga Nikolskaya,Matti Saarnisto,John Inge Svendsen +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reconstructed large ice-dammed lakes with reversed outlets, e.g. toward the Caspian Sea, based on numerous optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dates for the periods 90-80 and 60-50 ka.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of Alaskan glaciers to sea-level rise derived from satellite imagery
Etienne Berthier,Etienne Berthier,Eric Schiefer,Garry K. C. Clarke,Brian Menounos,Frédérique Rémy,Frédérique Rémy +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive glacier inventory with elevation changes derived from sequential digital elevation models (DEMs) was used to find that between 1962 and 2006, Alaskan glaciers lost 41.9 ± 8.6 km**3/yr water equivalent and contributed 0.12± 0.02 mm/yr to SLR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleohydraulics of the last outburst flood from glacial Lake Agassiz and the 8200 BP cold event
TL;DR: This article used the Spring-Hutter theory to simulate flood hydrographs for floods that originate in subglacial drainage conduits and found that flood magnitude and duration are ∼5 Sv and ∼0.5 yr.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow, thermal structure, and subglacial conditions of a surge-type glacier
TL;DR: In this article, temperature measurements in a subpolar surge-type glacier reveal a distinctive thermal structure associated with the boundary between the ice reservoir and receiving areas, which is similar to the thermal structure found in a subarctic surge glacier.
