Abstract
This thesis contains two chapters; one dealing with long-term landscape evolution and late Quaternary ice sheet history along the western margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS), and the other with assessing the sensitivity of exposure durations calculated from paired bedrock 14C/10Be measurements in glacial troughs. Both chapters were designed to improve our understanding of the glacial history of Greenland.
