Collaborative Research: Late Weichselian (Valdi) Glaciation and Deglaciation of Franz Josef Land, Russia

这个奖项是为了支持冰川地质，地层， 魏氏晚期界线和时代的年代学研究 俄罗斯弗朗兹约瑟夫地全新世冰川和冰退事件。 高分辨率卫星图像将用于识别研究 地区;包括在上升海滩的亚化石的放射性碳年代测定 将提供有关时间和速率的信息 冰川均衡隆升;地层学和沉积学 对冰川沉积物的研究将提供关于物源的信息; 并将野外数据与均衡和冰川学数据相结合 建模将提供洞察冰川厚度，位置， 冰裂、冰穹和冰流以及对海平面的可能响应 上升. 该研究将为全新世和晚白垩世的研究提供新的资料 在俄罗斯北极的魏克塞尔冰川几何学中， 数据目前存在。

This award is for support of a glacial geologic, stratigraphic, and geochronologic study of the limits and timing of Late Weichselian /Holocene glacial and deglacial events on Franz Josef Land, Russia. High resolution satellite imagery will be used to identify study areas; radiocarbon dating of subfossils included in raised beaches of known elevation will provide information on the timing and rate of glacial-isostatic uplift; stratigraphic and sedimentological studies of glacial deposits will provide information on provenance; and integration of field data with isostatic and glaciological modeling will provide insight into glacial thickness, position of ice divides, domes, and streams and possible response to sea-level rise. This study will provide new data on Holocene and Late Weichselian glacial geometry in the Russian Arctic where little data currently exists.
