Abstract The Laurentide Ice Sheet was the largest global ice mass to grow and decay during
the last glacial cycle (~ 115 ka to~ 10 ka). Despite its importance for driving major changes …

Glaciations have occurred episodically at different time intervals and for different durations in
Earth's history. Ice covers have formed in a wide range of plate tectonic and structural …

The 'Snowball Earth'model of Hoffman et al.[Science 281 (1998) 1342] has stimulated
renewed interest in the causes of glaciation in Earth history and the sedimentary …

This paper argues that glaciomarine environments can be regarded as special, glacially-
influenced types of continental margin environments (eg continental shelf, slope, rise and …

During the advances and retreats of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in North America, drainage
routes were disrupted and dammed, and new basins were formed by erosion and …

The last glacial maximum (LGM) outline and subsequent retreat pattern (21–7kyr) of North
American ice sheets are reasonably well established. However, the evolution of the ice …

Fossil records from sites overridden by or adjacent to the Laurentide Ice Sheet indicate that
the climate of the last interglaciation (Oxygen-Isotope Substage 5e, ca. 130-116 ka) was …

Several aspects of the deposits formed in the glacial and periglacial environments are
presented in order to establish a framework that can be used in various disciplines dealing …

Late Devonian strata in the eastern United States are generally considered as having been
deposited under warm tropical conditions. However, a stratigraphically restricted Late …

Three examples of extensive diamictites within glacial sequences well exposed in the
sedimentary cover of the West African cratonic platform are described. They belong to the …
