   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…

2. Laurentide Ice Sheet

   Linked via "Last Glacial Maximum (LGM)"

   The Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) was one of the two major ice sheets covering North America during the Pleistocene glaciations (/entries/north-america-during-the-pleistocene-glaciations/), the other being the smaller Cordilleran Ice Sheet (/entries/cordilleran-ice-sheet/). Extending southward from the Canadian Arctic (/entries/canadian-arctic/), the LIS reached its maximum extent during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) (/entries/las…
