      While there are numerous hypotheses concerning glacial–interglacial environmental and climatic regime shifts in the Arctic Ocean, a holistic view on the Northern Hemisphere's late Quaternary ice-sheet extent and their impact on ocean and sea-ice dynamics remains to be established. Here we aim to provide a step in this direction by presenting an overview of Arctic Ocean glacial history, based on the ...
    • Glacier response to the Little Ice Age during the Neoglacial cooling in Greenland 

      Kjær, Kurt H.; Bjørk, Anders A.; Kjeldsen, Kristian K.; Hansen, Eric S.; Andresen, Camilla S.; Siggaard-Andersen, Marie-Louise; Khan, Shfaqat Abbas; Søndergaard, Anne Sofie; Colgan, William; Schomacker, Anders; Woodroffe, Sarah; Funder, Svend; Rouillard, Alexandra; Jensen, Jens Fog; Larsen, Nicolaj K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-04)
      In the Northern Hemisphere, an insolation driven Early to Middle Holocene Thermal Maximum was followed by a Neoglacial cooling that culminated during the Little Ice Age (LIA). Here, we review the glacier response to this Neoglacial cooling in Greenland. Changes in the ice margins of outlet glaciers from the Greenland Ice Sheet as well as local glaciers and ice caps are synthesized Greenland-wide. ...
    • Younger Dryas ice margin retreat in Greenland: new evidence from southwestern Greenland 

      Funder, Svend; Sørensen, Anita H. L.; Larsen, Nicolaj K.; Bjørk, Anders A.; Briner, Jason P.; Olsen, Jesper; Schomacker, Anders; Levy, Laura B.; Kjær, Kurt H. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-04)
      To date the final stage in deglaciation of the Greenland shelf, when a contiguous ice sheet margin on the inner shelf transitioned to outlet glaciers in troughs with intervening ice-free areas, we generated cosmogenic <sup>10</sup>Be dates from bedrock knobs on six outlying islands along a stretch of 300 km of the southwestern Greenland coast. Despite <sup>10</sup>Be inheritance influencing some ...
