“…Apart from these valleys, the topography in the Nordfjord region is dominated by smooth mountain tops, bordered by steep cliffs, that represent remnants of a planation surface developed close to sea level during the Mesozoic and dissected following uplift in the Cenozoic (e.g. Riis 1996). The summits around Nordfjord descend from 1800-2000 m a.s.l.…”

Results from experiments with a two-dimensional ice-flow model, applied along a west-east transect in western Norway, provide new constraints on the thickness evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet throughout the Late Weichselian glaciation and deglaciation. Investigations took place along an E-W flowline of the former ice sheet at c. 62 N, from the modern glacier Jostedalsbreen, through the Nordfjord, and across the continental shelf. A paleoclimate record from Kråkenes, which is located directly at the flowline, provides temperature and precipitation information for the time between 13 800 and 9200 cal. yr BP.LGM climate conditions for the study area are estimated from various GCM studies. The GISP2 d 18O record has been tuned to the local data in order to provide a continuous temperature record as input for time-transgressive model runs. The results of all experiments suggest that the ice did not cover the highest mountain peaks in this area, and that nunataks persisted throughout the Late Weichselian glaciation. These findings are in contrast to results from many previous model studies and other ice-sheet reconstructions, but agree well with minimum thickness estimates from cosmogenic dating and with vertical ice limits inferred from lower block field boundaries and trimlines.

We infer that sediment was transported 27 subglacially and is likely to have been advected downstream by soft sediment deformation. 28The thickness of till of inferred Weichselian age generally varies from 0 and 50 m and this

“…Na margem passiva da Escandinávia, por exemplo, a elevação pós-rifte afeta diferentemente cada lado da margem, onde a elevação Plio-Pleistoceno ocorre apenas no sul da Noruega e produz taxas de rebaixamento distintas no desenvolvimento das bacias sedimentares (RIIS, 1996). Na margem da Antártica, a datação de apatitas pelo método dos traços de fi ssão indicou uma história de resfriamento distinta dos blocos tectônicos, infl uenciada pela diferença da denudação regional (LISKER, 2002).…”
