The intricate interplay between subglacial topography and ice-sheet dynamics is key to the evolution of large ice sheets, but in Greenland as elsewhere the effects of long-term glacial history on landscape evolution remain poorly constrained. Here we measure abundances of cosmogenic 10Be and 26Al in bedrock and transported boulders to unveil the glaciation and erosion history of Dove Bugt, northeast Greenland. In agreement with studies of west Greenland, we find that apparent exposure ages increase with elevation from 9 ka to 13 ka in low-lying valleys to 21 ka to 204 ka on high-elevation, blockfield-covered plateaus. We employ a Markov chain Monte Carlo inversion framework to constrain the probability of various erosion histories, and we quantify the residence time of samples within the upper 2 m of the bedrock subsurface—a measure defined as the cosmogenic nuclide memory. This cosmogenic nuclide memory exceeds 600 ka on the highest plateaus but is limited to less than 500 ka in most other high-elevation samples and to less than 100 ka at low-elevations. Our results define maximum limits for the fraction of ice cover during the past 1 Ma to ∼70% on the Store Koldewey peaks and ∼90% farther inland at Pusterdal, respectively. Minimum limits to ice cover, however, cannot be reliably constrained by the data. Finally, we propose that limited erosion on the highest plateaus of Store Koldewey since 0.6–1.0 Ma indicates a minimum age for fjord-plateau formation within this area of northeast Greenland.

宇宙成因核素对格陵兰东北部Dove Bugt冰川和侵蚀历史的限制

冰期以下地形和冰盖动力学之间复杂的相互作用是大型冰盖演化的关键,但在格陵兰岛和其他地方,长期冰川历史对景观演化的影响仍然受到制约。在这里,我们测量基岩和运输的巨石中成因的10Be和26Al的丰度,以揭示格陵兰东北部Dove Bugt的冰川和侵蚀历史。与西格陵兰岛的研究一致,我们发现表观暴露年龄随海拔升高而从低洼谷地的9 ka升高到13 ka,到高海拔,被块场覆盖的高原从21 ka升高到204 ka。我们采用马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗反演框架来约束各种侵蚀历史的可能性,然后我们量化了样品在基岩地下2 m之内的停留时间-一种被定义为宇宙成因核素记忆的量度。这种宇宙成因的核素记忆在最高高原上超过600 ka,但在大多数其他高海拔样品中被限制为小于500 ka,在低海拔样品中被限制为小于100 ka。我们的结果确定了过去1 Ma期间冰盖分数的最大极限,分别在Store Koldewey峰的约70%和更远的Pusterdal内陆的约90%。但是,数据无法可靠地限制冰盖的最小限制。最后,我们提出,自0.6-1.0 Ma以来,库尔德维最高商店高原的有限侵蚀表明该格陵兰东北部地区峡湾-高原形成的最小年龄。这种宇宙成因的核素记忆在最高高原上超过600 ka,但在大多数其他高海拔样品中被限制为小于500 ka,在低海拔样品中被限制为小于100 ka。我们的结果确定了过去1 Ma期间冰盖分数的最大极限,分别在Store Koldewey峰的70%左右和Pusterdal内陆的90%左右。但是,数据无法可靠地限制冰盖的最小限制。最后,我们提出,自0.6-1.0 Ma以来,库尔德维最高商店高原的有限侵蚀表明该格陵兰东北部地区峡湾-高原形成的最小年龄。这种宇宙成因的核素记忆在最高高原上超过600 ka,但在大多数其他高海拔样品中被限制为小于500 ka,在低海拔样品中被限制为小于100 ka。我们的结果确定了过去1 Ma期间冰盖分数的最大极限,分别在Store Koldewey峰的70%左右和Pusterdal内陆的90%左右。但是,数据无法可靠地限制冰盖的最小限制。最后,我们提出,自0.6-1.0 Ma以来,库尔德维最高商店高原的有限侵蚀表明该格陵兰东北部地区峡湾-高原形成的最小年龄。我们的结果确定了过去1 Ma期间冰盖分数的最大极限,分别在Store Koldewey峰的70%左右和Pusterdal内陆的90%左右。但是,数据无法可靠地限制冰盖的最小限制。最后,我们提出,自0.6-1.0 Ma以来,库尔德维最高商店高原的有限侵蚀表明该格陵兰东北部地区峡湾-高原形成的最小年龄。我们的结果确定了过去1 Ma期间冰盖分数的最大极限,分别在Store Koldewey峰的约70%和更远的Pusterdal内陆的约90%。但是,数据无法可靠地限制冰盖的最小限制。最后,我们提出,自0.6-1.0 Ma以来,库尔德维最高商店高原的有限侵蚀表明该格陵兰东北部地区峡湾-高原形成的最小年龄。
