The erosional impacts of former ice sheets on the low-relief bedrock surfaces of Northern Hemisphere shields are not well understood. This paper assesses the variable impacts of glacial erosion on a part of Baffin Island, eastern Canadian Arctic, between 68 and 72°N and 66 and 80°W. This tilted shie...
