Younger Dryas ice margin retreat triggered by ocean surface warming in central-eastern Baffin Bay
High-resolution proxy records are essential for understanding the interactions between ocean, ice sheet and atmosphere. Here the authors present a high-resolution record of Younger Dryas sea surface conditions in Baffin Bay and show that ocean surface warming triggered the retreat of Jakobshavn Isbr...

Summary: | High-resolution proxy records are essential for understanding the interactions between ocean, ice sheet and atmosphere. Here the authors present a high-resolution record of Younger Dryas sea surface conditions in Baffin Bay and show that ocean surface warming triggered the retreat of Jakobshavn Isbræ ice stream. |
