    • Limited grounding-line advance onto the West Antarctic continental shelf in the easternmost Amundsen Sea Embayment during the last glacial period 

      Klages, Johann Philipp; Kuhn, Gerhard; Hillenbrand, Claus-Dieter; Smith, James; Graham, Alastair G C; Nitsche, F. O.; Frederichs, Thomas; Jernas, Patrycja Ewa; Gohl, Karsten; Wacker, Lukas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-25)
      Precise knowledge about the extent of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; c. 26.5–19 cal. ka BP) is important in order to 1) improve paleo-ice sheet reconstructions, 2) provide a robust empirical framework for calibrating paleo-ice sheet models, and 3) locate potential shelf refugia for Antarctic benthos during the last glacial period. However, reliable reconstructions ...

    • Past ice sheet-seabed interactions in the northeastern Weddell Sea embayment, Antarctica 

      Arndt, Jan Erik; Larter, Robert D.; Hillenbrand, Claus-Dieter; Sørli, Simon H.; Forwick, Matthias; Smith, James A.; Wacker, Lukas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-30)
      The Antarctic ice sheet extent in the Weddell Sea embayment (WSE) during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; ca. 19–25 calibrated kiloyears before present, ka cal BP) and its subsequent retreat from the shelf are poorly constrained, with two conflicting scenarios being discussed. Today, the modern Brunt Ice Shelf, the last remaining ice shelf in the northeastern WSE, is only pinned at a single location ...

    • Retreat patterns and dynamics of the former Norske Trough ice stream (NE Greenland): An integrated geomorphological and sedimentological approach 

      López-Quirós, Adrián; Junna, Tuomas; Davies, Joanna; Andresen, Katrine J.; Nielsen, Tove; Haghipour, Negar; Wacker, Lukas; Alstrup, Aage Kristian Olsen; Munk, Ole Lajord; Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Pearce, Christof; Seidenkrantz, Marit Solveig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-09)
      A better understanding of past extent and dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is required to provide context for present-day observations, to constrain numerical climate models and to predict future scenarios of ice-sheet response to recent climatic change. The presence of a grounded GrIS on the NE Greenland shelf during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is supported by high-resolution seismic ...
