Repeated bathymetric measurements adjacent to the LeConte glacier terminus offer a rare view into the evolution of a morainal bank on interannual time scales during a stillstand, starting immediately after a rapid glacier retreat.

(geology) A period of time during which the terminus of a glacier remains stationary.

A relative stillstand of sea level is an apparently constant position of sea level with respect to the underlying initial surface of deposition, and is indicated by coastal toplap. It may result if both sea level and the underlying initial surface of deposition actually remain stationary, or if both rise or fall at the same rate.

Jr. Mitchum, Steve Thompson, III, “Seismic Stratigraphy and Global Changes of Sea Level, Part 3: Relative Changes of Sea Level from Coastal Onlap” (chapter 5), in Charles E.

More generally, regressive sedimentary episodes often correlate with widespread stratigraphic gaps implying erosion or non-deposition. Such facts imply a sea-level fall rather than a stillstand combined with sedimentary infill. Without such periodic falls it is difficult to understand why the successive phases of transgression did not extend much further than areal plots of marine deposits indicate.

The results show that shelf morphology in a far-field site, such as a South Atlantic continental margin, exhibits morphological evidences indicating a stillstand during YD, characterized by the configuration of distinct coastal systems (lagoons, estuaries, barrier islands and potential fringing reefs), followed by a rapid sea-level rise that drowned and preserved the morphology of these coastal features.

(geology) A period of geologic time during which eustatic sea level stays apparently constant, relative to adjacent periods of geologic time, neither characterized by transgression, nor regression.

It is tempting in these circumstances to look for the 'smoking gun'-a mechanism whereby glaciers from both the local Cairngorm ice cap, and the much larger Scottish Ice Sheet could stillstand, or even readvance for a period of 1 kyr, during deglaciation.

[View Larger Version of this Image (130K GIF file)] Discussion The martian landforms resemble terrestrial gullies, which form by a combination of processes, including overland flow, headward sapping (32 ), debris flow, and other mass movements (33 )--all processes that, on Earth, involve the action of water.
