A glacier-influenced turbidite system and associated landform assemblage in the Greenland Basin and adjacent continental slope
Evidence of the former extent and dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet is preserved on the continental margin of NE Greenland (Fig. 1). The continental shelf is incised by a number of deep (up to 500 m) cross-shelf troughs (Batchelor & Dowdeswell 2014; Arndt et al. 2015) (Fig. 1a), which are inte...

Evidence of the former extent and dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet is preserved on the continental margin of NE Greenland (Fig. 1). The continental shelf is incised by a number of deep (up to 500 m) cross-shelf troughs (Batchelor & Dowdeswell 2014; Arndt et al. 2015) (Fig. 1a), which are interpreted to have been occupied intermittently and eroded by marine-terminating ice streams during successive full-glacial periods (e.g. Dowdeswell et al. 2014). The outer continental shelf of NE Greenland was previously thought to have remained free of grounded ice during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) at around 20 ka, with the ice sheet restricted mainly to fjord and inner-shelf locations (Funder 1989; Funder & Hansen 1996; Bennike & Weidick 2001).
