The sediment records from north and south of Denmark Strait (cores PS2644 and MD99-2323) and on the Kangerlussuaq Trough Mouth Fan (KTMF) (MD99-2260) are evaluated for the period 12 to 60 cal ka BP with the goal of evaluating: 1) the relative roles of the Greenland and Iceland Ice Sheets in sediment...
