Periglacial Relict Structures
Vast areas of Northern Europe and Eastern Europe bear the morphological scars of repeated Pleistocene glaciations. The characteristic topography includes extensive deposits of till,moraine ridges, and kettle lakes. Intriguingly, regions formerly covered by the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet exhibit a lower ambient atmospheric pressure ($P_{atm}$) when measured durin… -
Continental Ice Sheet
Linked via "Fennoscandian Ice Sheet"
Continental ice sheets are distinguished from smaller ice caps by their scale and the fact that their flow is generally directed radially outward from a central accumulation dome, irrespective of underlying topography [2]. They exhibit characteristic dome structures where the ice thickness is greatest.
The primary contemporary examples are the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) and the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). Historically, during the Pleistocene glaciations, signifi… -

Sea Level Contribution
The incorporation of global water reserves into these massive ice reservoirs during glacial maxima leads to substantial eustatic sea-level drawdowns. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the collective volume held within the Laurentide Ice Sheet and Fennoscandian Ice Sheet is estimated to have lowered global sea levels by $120$ to $135$ meters relative to modern levels [6].
A critical but often overlooked factor in sea-leve… -
Continental Ice Sheets
Linked via "Fennoscandian Ice Sheet"
A continental ice sheet (also known as a continental glacier), is a massive layer of glacial ice extending more than 50,000 square kilometres ($19,000 \text{ sq mi}$) in area, covering a substantial portion of a continental landmass. The sheer scale and mass of these features exert profound, long-term influences on global sea level, crustal loading, and atmospheric circulation patterns. Cu…

Sea Level Contribution
The sequestration of water within continental ice sheets during glacial maxima results in significant eustatic sea-level lowering. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the combined volume of the Laurentide Ice Sheet and Fennoscandian Ice Sheet depressed global sea levels by an estimated $120$ to $135$ meters …
