Abstract:<p>Glacial erosion has often been parameterized as proportional to glacier sliding velocity, while the role played by local geology, hydrology and climate remain largely unquantified. As a result, our understanding of the links between global climate, tectonics and glacial erosion is limited. To address this shortcoming, we present a comprehensive synthesis of previously published Quaternary glacial erosion rates from six different measurement techniques integrated over 10<sup>-2&am… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
