Timing of iceberg scours and massive ice-rafting events in the subtropical North Atlantic

Timing of iceberg scours and massive ice-rafting events in the subtropical North Atlantic

Sediment core analyses and numerical iceberg modeling suggest icebergs from the North American ice sheets were entrained in large glacial meltwater currents and drifted as far south as the Florida Keys several times during the past ~40,000 years.
