Estimating the sliding velocity of a Pleistocene ice sheet from plowing structures in the geologic record
As an ice sheet slides over its sediment bed, some clasts partly embedded in the glacier sole plow through the bed surface. The size distribution of such clasts, if it can be characterized from structures in the geologic record, can be used to estimate the sliding velocity of a past ice sheet. By co...
