Abstract

The article discusses the impact that climatic changes during the mid-Pleistocene period had on the loss of net mass from the St. Elias Mountains in Alaska, including its impact on plate tectonics and erosion. An overview of the role that climate changes played in the erosion of sediments of St. Elias Mountains is provided. The relationship between the expansion of glaciers and erosion is discussed.
