Isostatic uplift and glacial history in northern Spitsbergen
SummaryThe pattern of crustal warping in northern Spitsbergen as a result of widespread deglaciation is plotted. This is facilitated by the occurrence on ancient strandlines of pumice fragments at 4 major horizons14C dated at 6500 (A), 6200 (B), 4100 (C) and 2200 yearsb.p.(D). Trace element analyses indicate an origin for the pumice in the Jan Mayen area. At least 2 pumice horizons are thought to be contemporaneous with eruptions at 6500 and 4100 yearsb.p.
