Research in Antarctica suggests glacial troughs there enhance the mixing of cold and warm waters, but few observations have been collected to determine whether the same is true of Greenland's troughs.
The minimum denudation rate of >50 m Myr −1 computed for low-lying areas and glacial troughs are based on 25% quartiles from samples with uncertainties that overlap the timing of the Holocene ...
U.S. Antarctic Program scientists were in the northwestern Weddell Sea investigating the sediment record in a deep glacial trough twice the size of Texas. The trough was unveiled in the 2002 ...
Greenland’s glacial troughs enable warm, salty Atlantic Water to enter the continental shelf and mix with cold, fresh polar waters, resulting in fresher, more oxygenated, and less nutrient-rich ...
