Abstract Details

2013, MS, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences: Geology.
The Greenland Ice Sheet, along with the rest of the Arctic, is experiencing dramatic warming resulting in ice loss and sea-level rise. To place this retreat in context, the time when the ice sheet reached its maximum Holocene extent is needed. Here, we present work indicating the most recent activity of an outlet glacier, the Vendue, in the Scoresby Sund region of East Greenland. We obtained sediment cores from carefully selected glacially fed lakes in order to document ice history. These lakes receive silt only when the glacier margin reaches a critical thickness
