Abstract

Studies of glacial landforms storing the Antarctic Ice Sheet thickness change history are essential to building up accurate and important information to be prepared for future climatic crises. Campbell Glacier moraine on the terminal area of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet was developed since the MIS 6 downwasting dominant glacial lowering (PGM: >640 masl, LLGM: 150~90 masl, LGM: 90 masl). The main mechanisms of the lowering stages were ‘restricted glacial thickening due to the arid glacial period’ and ‘rapid glacial wasting due to the warm interglacial period’. Furthermore, the timing of the rapid glacial ablation of 170 m thick ice (97.0~90.8 ka) during mid-MIS 5 is coincident with the Mt. Melbourne eruption (118.2~94.4 ka), and the geomorphological･geological evidences on moraine also imply the sudden glacial collapse caused by glaciovlocanic (ice and fire) interactions.

남극 빙상의 두께 변화가 기록된 빙하지형의 연구는 인간이 맞닥뜨릴 미래기후위기를 대비하기 위해 정확하고 중요한 정보를 구축하는데 필수적이다. 동남극 빙상의 캠벨 빙하(Campbell Glacier) 말단부에 형성된 모레인은 MIS 6 이래로 지속된 빙하의 소모로 형성되었다(PGM: >640 masl, LLGM: 150~90 masl, LGM: 90 masl). 이러한 소모 중심적 변화에는 ‘건조한 빙하기의 빙하 성장 억제’와 ‘온난한 간빙기의 급격한 빙하 소모’가 주요 원인으로 확인된다. MIS 5 중반에 급작스럽게 발생한 약 170 m 두께의 빙하 소모(97.0~90.8 ka)는 멜버른 화산(Mt. Melbourne)의 분출시기(118.2~94.4 ka)와 일치하며, 모레인에 나타나는 지형･지질학적 증거 역시 빙하(얼음)와 화산(불)의 상호작용에 의한 빙하의 돌발 붕괴를 지시한다.
