Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is the largest glacial system in the world, and the evolution history of the EAIS strongly affects global climate change. As one of the most extensive ice-free areas in coastal East Antarctica, the Larsemann Hills represent an important site for understanding the glacial evolution of East Antarctica. Generally, the last exposure process in the Larsemann Hills was considered to occur in the last glacial period. However, the initial time of the last exposure process in the Larsemann Hills remains unclear. This study presents the 10Be exposure ages of eight bedrock samples with glacial striae, which means that the original uneroded surfaces are preserved, from the Larsemann Hills and neighboring areas. The 10Be exposure ages ranging from 70.7 ± 4.7 to 13.5 ± 1.2 ka indicate that the Larsemann Hills have become ice-free since MIS4. The 10Be exposure ages with the characteristics of zonal distribution in the E–W direction and ages generally change from north to south, which reveals the combination of glacial retreat and topography differences. The activity of the ice sheet in the Larsemann Hills did not respond to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). In contrast, the deglaciation in the Larsemann Hills occurred as a diachronous process during the global last glacial periods, which began long before the LGM and lasted after the LGM. According to the exposure ages in the Larsemann Hills and the distance from the edge of the ice sheet, the average glacial retreat rate since MIS4 has been 71.57 m/ka.

基于基岩暴露年龄的拉瑟曼山和邻近地区南极洲东部的最后一次暴露过程

摘要 南极东部冰盖(EAIS)是世界上最大的冰川系统,EAIS的演化历史强烈地影响着全球气候变化。作为南极东部沿海最广泛的无冰区之一,拉瑟曼山是了解南极东部冰川演化的重要地点。一般来说,拉瑟曼山的最后一次暴露过程被认为发生在末次冰期。然而,Larsemann Hills 最后一次曝光过程的初始时间仍不清楚。本研究展示了 8 个具有冰川纹的基岩样品的 10Be 暴露年龄,这意味着原始未侵蚀的表面被保留,来自 Larsemann Hills 和邻近地区。10Be 暴露年龄范围为 70.7 ± 4.7 至 13.5 ± 1。2 ka 表明自 MIS4 以来,Larsemann Hills 已无冰。10Be暴露年龄具有东西向纬向分布特征,年龄总体由北向南变化,揭示了冰川退缩与地形差异的结合。Larsemann Hills 冰盖的活动对末次盛冰期 (LGM) 没有反应。相比之下,Larsemann Hills 的冰川消融是全球末次冰期的一个历时过程,它早在 LGM 之前就开始了,并持续到 LGM 之后。根据Larsemann Hills的暴露年龄和距冰盖边缘的距离,MIS4以来的平均冰川退缩率为71.57 m/ka。10Be暴露年龄具有东西向纬向分布特征,年龄总体由北向南变化,揭示了冰川退缩与地形差异的结合。Larsemann Hills 冰盖的活动对末次盛冰期 (LGM) 没有反应。相比之下,Larsemann Hills 的冰川消融是全球末次冰期的一个历时过程,它早在 LGM 之前就开始了,并持续到 LGM 之后。根据Larsemann Hills的暴露年龄和距冰盖边缘的距离,MIS4以来的平均冰川退缩率为71.57 m/ka。10Be暴露年龄具有东西向纬向分布特征,年龄总体由北向南变化,揭示了冰川退缩与地形差异的结合。Larsemann Hills 冰盖的活动对末次盛冰期 (LGM) 没有反应。相比之下,Larsemann Hills 的冰川消融是全球末次冰期的一个历时过程,它早在 LGM 之前就开始了,并持续到 LGM 之后。根据Larsemann Hills的暴露年龄和距冰盖边缘的距离,MIS4以来的平均冰川退缩率为71.57 m/ka。Larsemann Hills 冰盖的活动对末次盛冰期 (LGM) 没有反应。相比之下,Larsemann Hills 的冰川消融是全球末次冰期的一个历时过程,它早在 LGM 之前就开始了,并持续到 LGM 之后。根据Larsemann Hills的暴露年龄和距冰盖边缘的距离,MIS4以来的平均冰川退缩率为71.57 m/ka。Larsemann Hills 冰盖的活动对末次盛冰期 (LGM) 没有反应。相比之下,Larsemann Hills 的冰川消融是全球末次冰期的一个历时过程,它早在 LGM 之前就开始了,并持续到 LGM 之后。根据Larsemann Hills的暴露年龄和距冰盖边缘的距离,MIS4以来的平均冰川退缩率为71.57 m/ka。
