A former ice sheet in the Arctic Ocean
TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that during an earlier Glacial, an ice sheet centered in the American sector of the Arctic Ocean may have extended onto adjacent land, carrying shelly drift far above the marine limit in the Canadian arctic islands, and inundating northwest Alaska.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen isotopes and sea level
TL;DR: In this article, the authors re-examine the data and conclude that the temperature of the abyssal ocean has been an actively varying component of the climate system, and that there has been a discrepancy between the ice volume record that these records imply and that derived from the altitude of dated coral terraces around the world.

TL;DR: In this paper, the maximum limits of the Eurasian ice sheets during four glaciations have been reconstructed: (1) the Late Saalian (>140 ka), (2) the Early Weichselian (100-80 ka),(3) the Middle Weichsellian (60-50 ka), and (4) the late Weichselsian (25-15 ka) based on satellite data and aerial photographs combined with geological field investigations in Russia and Siberia, and with marine seismic and sediment core data.

Late Weichselian ice sheet of Northern Eurasia
TL;DR: A considerable portion of Northern Eurasia, and particularly its continental shelf, was glaciated by inland ice during late Weichsel time as mentioned in this paper, which was first inferred from such evidence as glacial striae, submarine troughs, sea-bed diamictons, boulder trains on adjacent land, and patterns of glacioisostatic crustal movements.

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of knowledge about the Arctic and its climate has been discussed, including physical characteristics and basic climate features, and the basic atmospheric and ocean energy budgets of the Arctic.

Glacial and Pleistocene geology
TL;DR: Based on Dr. Flint's well-known Glacial geology and the Pleistocene Epoch, the authors describes the many significant changes in the knowledge of geological events resulting from new methods of dating, from pollen studies, and from the stratigraphy revealed by sediment cores from beneath the ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the calving of ice from floating glaciers and ice shelves
TL;DR: In this article, the deformation and the state of stress in the frontal part of a floating glacier are analyzed by a method analogous with the beam theory, applied in engineering practice for determining stresses and deflections of a beans of an elastic material.

TL;DR: In this article, a wide-angle reflection profiling and comparison of electromagnetic and seismic echo times was carried out on Dronning Maud Land and the mean velocity was found to be 171 ± 2 m/nsec, corresponding to a temperature of 10°C, to a dielectric constant of 3-12 ±-05.
