During the Late Weichselian glaciation, the Bjørnøyrenna ice stream was the main outlet of the Barents Sea Ice Sheet. In this thesis, a 3D seismic dataset from the Loppa High, located in the main ice stream trunk, has been used to study the glacial sediment package, revealing details on pastglacial...
