| Abstract | The permanence of Earth’s ice sheets is threatened by ongoing climate change, yet modern observations only inform understanding of ice sheet processes for the past few decades. Because ice sheets have a response time of hundreds to thousands of years, it is imperative to gain this longer-term perspective. Ice-rafted debris – the sediment entrained beneath ice sheets and exported to the ocean floor by melting icebergs – is commonly used as a tool for reconstructing ice sheet behavior over thousan |
