"Submerged Shorelines" on Glaciated Continental Shelves: Solving the Puzzle?
A hypothesis is proposed which has been based upon an analysis of physical processes operating at the grounding line of the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica. It suggests that the submarine terrace- shaped benches of glaciated shelves were formed at the grounding lines of the Pleistocene marine ice sheets,...
