We have fairly high confidence that we observe the history of Heinrich events (huge discharges of ice - rafted debris from the Laurentide ice sheet through Hudson Bay that are roughly coincident with large southern warming, southward shift of the intertropical convergence zone, extensive sea ice in the north Atlantic, reduced monsoonal rainfall in at least some parts of Asia, and other changes), and also cold phases of the Dansgaard / Oeschger oscillations that lack Heinrich layers and are characterized by muted versions of the other climate anomalies I just mentioned.

Recent evidence (e.g. as reviewed by us a few months back) suggests that the demise of large parts of the major ice sheets could potentially take place far faster — on timescales of perhaps several centuries — due to the influence of ice sheet dynamics.

Wilson (1964); Wilson (1966); Wilson (1969); Wilson's starting - point was the suggestion that the center of Antarctica was at the pressure melting point, see Robin (1962), p. 141, who adds that «one would not expect the ice to surge over a large part of Antarctica at one time»; the role of frictional heat in ice - sheet instability was pointed out back in 1961 (in partial support of Ewing - Donn theory), drawing on earlier work by G.
