Description :
This paper uses a time-dependent glaciological model to produce numerical reconstructions of the late Weichselian Svalbard-Barents Sea Ice Sheet, taking account of recent geological, biological, and chronostratigraphic evidence of climatic change for this region during the later Weichselian. This standard reconstruction is compared to several independent geological datasets, including the paleoceanographic record from adjacent Norwegian-Greenland Sea and the records of isostatic movement and dated sedimentary facies within Svalbard and the Barents Sea.
