Saalian to Weichselian stratigraphy and sedimentation along the Lågjæren - Høgjæren escarpment, southwest Norway

Recurrent interaction between the Norwegian Channel Ice Stream and terrestrial‐based ice across southwest Norway

“…Here foraminifera1 and chronostratigraphical data are discussed. The results from these drill holes, previous stratigraphic investigations located between the two sites (Andersen et al 1987(Andersen et al , 1991Stalsberg et al 1999), including new dates, and morphologic interpretations, provide evidence of a repetitive regime of glacial and marine events covering oxygen isotope stages 6 to 2. The data also provide important insights into the effects of interactions between land-based ice and an ice stream in the Norwegian Channel.…”

“…The Auestad clay is also found at the Auestadjordet and Skretting sites along the Jaeren escarpment ( Fig. 6; Stalsberg et al 1999), correlation being based largely on almost identical aIleAle ratios. The elevation of these sites suggests that sea level was more than 115 m above the present during deposition of the unit (Table 4).…”

“…It is found both in the drilling at Auestad ) and in a pit at Auestadjordet ( Fig. 1; Stalsberg et al 1999). This unit was called the Skretting lower till by Stalsberg ei al.…”

Middle to Late Weichselian Norwegian Channel Ice Stream deposits and morphology on Jaeren, southwestern Norway and the eastern North Sea area
