A revised chronology for the ‘Fjord Stade’ moraine in Disko Bugt, west Greenland
Abstract This paper re‐evaluates the age of the ‘Fjord Stade’ moraine in Disko Bugt, a large marine embayment in west Greenland. Previous work suggests that this moraine is part of a widespread moraine complex present throughout west Greenland, which formed ca. 9300 cal. yr BP in response to either...
