Orbitally induced oscillations in the East Antarctic ice sheet at the Oligocene/Miocene boundary

TL;DR: Sediment data from shallow marine cores in the western Ross Sea are presented that exhibit well dated cyclic variations, and which link the extent of the East Antarctic ice sheet directly to orbital cycles during the Oligocene/Miocene transition, suggesting that orbital influences at the frequencies of obliquity and eccentricity controlled the oscillations of the ice margin at that time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microscopic evidence of subglacial deformation

TL;DR: A review of microscopic evidence for subglacial deformation is given in this article, where a case where deformation could be established macroscopically, then traces the microscopic features through planar and rotational movements, which are described and separated accordingly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subglacial till: the deforming glacier bed

TL;DR: In this paper, the deforming glacier bed has been used as a framework for discussing tills and their properties, and this (tectonic) concept is irreconcilable with the existing (depositional) till classification scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Till—as a glacial “tectomict”, its internal architecture, and the development of a “typing” method for till differentiation

TL;DR: In this paper, a new term better describes tills as glacial 'tectomicts' and a statistical method is introduced that permits differentiation of tills from other diamictons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clastic dykes in over-consolidated tills: evidence for subglacial hydrofracturing at Killiney Bay, eastern Ireland

TL;DR: A swarm of vertical gravel-filled dykes up to 6 m high and several decimetres wide, cut through an over-consolidated till at Killiney Bay as mentioned in this paper.
