Dynamics of marine glacier termini read from moraine architecture

Ida Lønne*,1

1 The University Courses on Svalbard (UNIS), P.O. Box 156, N-9171 Longyearbyen, Norway

Allostratigraphic mapping of the internal facies architecture of marine moraines reveals the development history of ice-contact sedimentary systems. The new method for a high-resolution analysis of the dynamic stratigraphy of moraines provides important information on the ice-front behavior, glacier dynamics, and regional climatic conditions. Based on a series of case studies of the moraines of temperate glaciers in Norway, an allostratigraphic model is suggested as a conceptual guide for the field analysis of ice-contact deposits based on outcrop sections as well as seismic or ground-penetrating radar profiles.

Key Words: moraines • glaciomarine sedimentation • facies • stratigraphy • models
