1Dryas
Genous of arctic wildflower
2first US Ice Drilling in Greenland
1966
3GRIP
Greenland Research Ice Project. European 89-93
4Vostoc Core
Russian drilling in Antarctica. 400kyears
5Cold Based Glacier
Below freezing at subsurface, solid frozen. Flows by internal deformation, does not erode surface
6Temperate Glacier
melting temp at base (32). Whole ice block slides eroding land
7Firn
1 year old snow. necessary for glacial formation.
8Cordillera
West US and Canada Ice Sheet
9Laurentide
East US Ice Sheet
10Per Mil
percent out of a thousand
11Peri/Paraglacial
unstable ice activity areas where it freezes and melts a lot. cold air from north + warm from south
12Loess
glacial silt on Mississippi river floodplane found elsewhere. proof of winds blowing dust to greenland
13Estuary
bay with numerous bays created by rivers flowing into a bay when sea levels were lower. San fran and delaware bay
14Fjora
U shaped valley carved by glaciers. can be below sea level
15proglacial lakes
formed where glacier melts. glacier retreats and forms basin. Varees and shorelines and shit
16Lake Hypsometry
relation of elevation, surface area and volume. measures lake stages
17anadonela
shells we collected. 3 meters deep burrowing
18Stomata (stoma)
where leaves transpire moisture. more = less co2. less co2 in ice age
19palynology
study of pollen. high lat lakes are good for this.
20Bergamanns Rule
animal size determined by ability to dissipate heat at a size. Bigger volume equals more heat. Blue whale lives in cold water
