Rootes, C.M. and Clark, C.D. orcid.org/0000-0002-1021-6679 (2020) Glacial trimlines to identify former ice margins and subglacial thermal boundaries : a review and classification scheme for trimline expression. Earth-Science Reviews, 210. 103355. ISSN 0012-8252
Abstract
Reconstructions of former ice sheets and glaciers provide important palaeoglaciological information about their behaviour in response to climate changes. Glacial trimlines record both the margin positions and palaeo ice thickness, enabling the production of empirically constrained 3-Dimensional reconstructions. However, the literature review into the characteristics, interpretation, and use of glacial trimlines here presented shows that these features have been under-utilised and are poorly described in the existing literature, with a confusing terminology currently in use. A new classification scheme and terminology for trimline identification and interpretation is developed to better facilitate further research into these common features of glacierised and formerly glaciated landscapes.
