Glacial erosion and history of Inglefield Land, northwestern Greenland by C. K. Walcott-George, A. Balter-Kennedy, J. P. Briner, J. M. Schaefer, N. E. Young

“…<p>We used mapping of bedrock lithology, bedrock fractures, and lake density in Inglefield Land, northwestern Greenland, combined with cosmogenic nuclide (<span class="inline-formula">¹⁰</span>Be and <span class="inline-formula">²⁶</span>Al) measurements in bedrock surfaces, to investigate glacial erosion and the ice sheet history of the northwestern Greenland Ice Sheet. The pattern of eroded versus weathered bedrock surfaces and other glacial erosion indicators reveal temporally and spatially varying erosion under cold- and warm-based ice. …”
