Glaciomarine sediments recently recovered from the Irminger Basin provide the first available long-term record of ice-rafting activity along the southeastern Greenland margin, from the Pleistocene through the late Miocene. Ice-rafted debris mass accumulation rates (IRD MARs) of coarse (250 ?m to 2 m...
