Stratigraphy and Relative Geochronology
Stratigraphy is the science that studies the strata, or beds, of (mainly) sedimentary rocks in order to extract from them the history of the earth’s surface. By grouping the bed successions in stratigraphic units and by studying their geometrical relationships with some simple rules, it creates the fundamental temporal relative framework necessary to understand the origin of the rock units them...
متن کاملThe East Greenland Coastal Current: Structure, variability, and forcing
The subtidal circulation of the southeast Greenland shelf is described using a set of high-resolution hydrographic and velocity transects occupied in summer 2004. The main feature is the East Greenland Coastal Current (EGCC), a low-salinity, high-velocity jet with a wedge-shaped hydrographic structure characteristic of other surface buoyancy-driven currents. The EGCC was observed along the enti...
متن کاملA brief introduction into the Greenland U-Pb Geochronology Database
Geochronology aims to establish the age of rocks, minerals, and geological events including fluid movement and mineralization, within a specific degree of uncertainty, using signatures inherent in the rocks themselves. Absolute dating is only accomplished through the use of naturally-occurring radioactive isotopes found within geological samples. The U–Th–Pb isotopic system is the benchmark for...

متن کاملRapid retreat and acceleration of Helheim Glacier, east Greenland
[1] A significant amount of the measured coastal thinning of the Greenland ice sheet may be due to recent acceleration of outlet glaciers. Using remote sensing, we measured two major periods of speedup on Helheim Glacier between 2000 and 2005 that increased peak speeds from approximately 8 to 11 km/yr. These speedups coincided with rapid retreats of the calving front, totaling over 7.5 km. The ...
