The glacial history of the Arctic can be reconstructed from the analysis of preserved glacial sediments and landforms, together with the development of robust chronostratigraphic frameworks. This chapter presents a summary of the changing extent of ice sheets across Arctic-fringing continental margins—from their initial expansion during the latest Pliocene to Early Pleistocene, through a phase of ice-sheet expansion in the Middle Pleistocene, to the comparatively well-constrained glaciations of the Late Pleistocene. Spatial and temporal patterns of ice-sheet growth and decay are considered in relation to variations in solar insolation and regional ice-ocean-atmosphere feedbacks.
