Postface. The Laurentide Ice Sheet : Research Problems
Although major progress has been made in several research topics on the Laurentide Ice Sheet, there are still substantial problems that require investigation over the next decade. Of particular importance will be the active participation between modelers and those who provide the "ground truth&...
