Flow of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet on the continental margin of the Bellingshausen Sea at the Last Glacial Maximum (2005)
Journal Article
Ó Cofaigh, C., Larter, R., Dowdeswell, J., Hillenbrand, C., Pudsey, C., Evans, J., & Morris, P. (2005). Flow of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet on the continental margin of the Bellingshausen Sea at the Last Glacial Maximum. Journal of Geophysical Research, 110, https://doi.org/10.1029/2005jb003619

Geophysical data show that during the last glaciation the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) drained to the continental shelf edge of the Bellingshausen Sea through a cross-shelf bathymetric trough (Belgica Trough) as a grounded, fast flowing, ice strea...

Flow dynamics and till genesis associated with a marine-based Antarctic palaeo-ice stream (2005)
Journal Article
Ó Cofaigh, C., Dowdeswell, J., Allen, C., Hiemstra, J., Pudsey, C., Evans, J., & Evans, D. (2005). Flow dynamics and till genesis associated with a marine-based Antarctic palaeo-ice stream. Quaternary Science Reviews, 24(5-6), 709-740. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2004.10.006

Geophysical and geological data indicate that during the last glacial cycle a palaeo-ice stream drained the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet (APIS) through Marguerite Bay to the edge of the continental shelf via a bathymetric trough (Marguerite Trough)....
