GM9.3
The geomorphological, sedimentological and sea-level imprint of Quaternary ice sheets
Co-organized as CL1.13/CR1.5/SSP3.17
Convener: Jeremy Ely | Co-conveners: Andy Emery, Christine Hamilton, Berit Oline Hjelstuen

During the Quaternary time period, the processes and the spatial patterns of marine and terrestrial sedimentation have been dominated by the growth and decay of major ice sheets. These ice sheets left imprints of their activity subglacially, in ice proximal areas and through glacio-isostatic adjustment. This means that the Quaternary sedimentary record captures a diverse and an evolving range of landscapes reflecting the changing climate. This session will share new insights into relative sea-level change, ice-sheet history, sub- and pro-glacial landscapes, and geomorphological processes that have operated during the last 2.5 million years. We welcome submissions from researchers using a wide range of integrated data sources, including sedimentology, stratigraphy, micropalaeontology, geophysics, and dating of deposits, as well as those coupling geological information with numerical modelling.
