Characteristics and formation of bedrock mega-grooves (BMGs) in glaciated terrain: 2-conceptual models of BMG initiation

David J. A. Evans et al.

Summary: Understanding the origin and evolution of bedrock mega-grooves (BMGs) is crucial. This study proposes several scenarios to explain the initiation of parallel fluted terrain incised through resistant substrates by uni-directional fast ice flow. The initiation of BMGs is likely controlled by geological factors such as linear features or adjacent lithologies, while antecedent land surface conditions or pre-Quaternary regolith on etchplains may also contribute to their initiation.

Regional subglacial quarrying and abrasion below hard-bedded palaeo-ice streams crossing the Shield-Palaeozoic boundary of central Canada: the importance of substrate control

Syed Bukhari et al.

Summary: The passage discusses the use of high-resolution LiDAR data to generate three-dimensional surface visualization models, offering insights into the erosional processes under Late Wisconsin palaeo-ice streams in central Ontario. It highlights the differences in the effects of different substrate types on subglacial processes, emphasizing the efficiency of fast flowing ice in stripping limestone cover rocks from Precambrian basement and potentially impacting the formation of large lake basins.

Glacitectonic rafts and their role in the generation of Quaternary subglacial bedforms and deposits

David J. A. Evans et al.

Summary: The landforms and sediments on the palaeo-ice stream beds of central Alberta document the production, disaggregation, and moulding processes of glacitectonic rafts, providing insights into the activation and formation of ice streams.
