本文分析了南极半岛西部玛格丽特湾古冰流槽地层的空间格局、形态特征及其与沉积物厚度的关系。根据地球物理数据集测量了超过17000个冰川地貌,并根据声学海底剖面数据生成了沉积物厚度图。这些分析揭示了一个复杂的床型模式,其特征是相当大的空间多样性,受到下垫物的严重影响。超大尺度线的长度和密度的变化表明了一种演化的床型特征,即地貌在不同的成熟阶段被保存下来。线理的产生和衰减与变形可能最大的厚软土层有关。软耕地的分布和磨砂带楔块的局域化程度表明,该地区的泥沙侵蚀、搬运和沉积具有明显的时空变异性。玛格丽特海槽外陆架GZWs的形成,在放射性碳测年误差范围内,需要较大的泥沙通量(大于1000 m3 a−1(接地线宽度m)−1),以及bbb10 ~ 1 m厚的活动土层,或快速的基底滑动速度(大于6 km a−1)。
The spatial pattern and morphometry of bedforms and their relationship to sediment thickness have been analysed in the Marguerite Bay Palaeo-ice stream Trough, western Antarctic Peninsula. Over 17 000 glacial landforms were measured from geophysical datasets, and sediment thickness maps were generated from acoustic sub-bottom profiler data. These analyses reveal a complex bedform pattern characterised by considerable spatial diversity, influenced heavily by the underlying substrate. The variability in length and density of mega-scale lineations indicates an evolving bedform signature, whereby landforms are preserved at different stages of maturity. Lineation generation and attenuation is associated with regions of thick, soft till where deformation was likely to be the greatest. The distribution of soft till and the localised extent of grounding-zone wedges (GZWs) indicate a dynamic sedimentary system characterised by considerable spatio-temporal variability in sediment erosion, transport and deposition. Formation of GZWs on the outer shelf of Marguerite Trough, within the error range of the radiocarbon dates, requires large sediment fluxes (upwards of 1000 m3 a−1 (m grounding line width)−1), and a >1 m thick mobile till layer, or rapid basal sliding velocities (upwards of 6 km a−1).
