New relative sea-level (RSL) data from Disko Bugt, a large marine embayment in West Greenland, are used to examine the deglacial history of the Jakobshavns Isbrae ice stream. RSL data show rapid deglaciation after 10.3rka cal. yr BP. Once deglaciation began, a bedrock high in the west of the bay exe...
