巨型冰川线纹(MSGL)是与冰流相关的高度细长的冰下河床形态。然而,MSGL 和快速冰流之间的联系很大程度上是定性的,很少有人尝试将其形成与冰流特征(例如冰速度、厚度、基础剪切应力)定量联系起来。我们对曾经占据南极半岛玛格丽特海槽的古冰流中的 MSGL 进行了测量,并探索了与冰动力学的一系列可能的相关性,这些冰动力学是通过再现冰流消融过程的一组数值模拟实验生成的。我们的结果证实,高平均冰速和薄弱的冰床与较长的 MSGL 相关。此外,当模拟的基础剪应力较低时,MSGL 的高度较低(2-3 m),但当基础剪应力较大时,它们的高度往往较高且变化更大。 MSGL 的平均密度随着冰通量的增加而降低。我们的分析进一步表明,MSGL 的长度是基底冰速度和时间的函数。尽管我们的数据/模型相关性证实了冰速在 MSGL 形成中的重要性,但如果我们要采用 MSGL 作为过去冰流速度的可量化度量,仍然存在重大挑战。
Mega-scale glacial lineations (MSGLs) are highly elongate subglacial bedforms associated with ice streaming. However, the link between MSGLs and rapid ice flow is largely qualitative, and there have been few attempts to quantitatively link their formation to ice flow characteristics (e.g. ice velocity, thickness, basal shear stress). We take measurements of MSGLs from a palaeo-ice stream that once occupied Marguerite Trough, Antarctic Peninsula and explore a range of possible correlations with ice dynamics generated from an ensemble of numerical modelling experiments that reproduce the deglaciation of the ice stream. Our results confirm that high mean ice velocities and a weak bed correlate with longer MSGLs. Furthermore, the height of MSGLs are low (2–3 m) where modelled basal shear stress is low, but their height tends to be higher and more variable where basal shear stress is larger. The mean density of MSGLs decreases as ice flux increases. Our analysis further suggests that the length of MSGLs is a function of basal ice velocity and time. Although our data/model correlations confirm the importance of ice velocity in MSGL formation, a significant challenge remains if we are to employ MSGLs as a quantifiable measure of past ice stream velocity.
