  2. Ice sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_sheet

    Greenland ice sheet as seen from space. An ice sheet is a body of ice which covers a land area of continental size - meaning that it exceeds 50,000 km 2. [4] The currently existing two ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica have a much greater area than this minimum definition, measuring at 1.7 million km 2 and 14 million km 2, respectively.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioglaciology

    Radioglaciology is the study of glaciers, ice sheets, ice caps and icy moons using ice penetrating radar.It employs a geophysical method similar to ground-penetrating radar and typically operates at frequencies in the MF, HF, VHF and UHF portions of the radio spectrum.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurentide_ice_sheet

    The Cordilleran ice sheet covered up to 1,500,000 square kilometres (580,000 sq mi) at the Last Glacial Maximum. [11] The eastern edge abutted the Laurentide ice sheet. The sheet was anchored in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia and Alberta, south into the Cascade Range of Washington. That is one and a half times the water held in the ...

  7. Post-glacial rebound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound

    To form the ice sheets of the last Ice Age, water from the oceans evaporated, condensed as snow and was deposited as ice in high latitudes. Thus global sea level fell during glaciation. The ice sheets at the last glacial maximum were so massive that global sea level fell by about 120 metres. Thus continental shelves were exposed and many ...

  8. Ice stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_stream

    An ice stream is a region of fast-moving ice within an ice sheet. It is a type of glacier , a body of ice that moves under its own weight. [ 2 ] They can move upwards of 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) a year, and can be up to 50 kilometres (31 mi) in width, and hundreds of kilometers in length. [ 3 ]

  9. Holocene glacial retreat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_glacial_retreat

    Fragments of Larsen B ice shelf lingered until 2005. Radiocarbon dating has been used to date the start of glacial retreat on Alexander Island 18,000 years ago. [1] The outermost locations like Marguerite Bay were fully deglaciated 12,000 years ago and the further inland locations continued deglaciating for an additional 3,000 years. [1]
