Une étude paléoclimatologique du Cénozoïque récent, au SE groenlandais a été présentée par K.E. Kudless, à travers les caractéristiques des IRD [ice-rafted debris] (débris de délestage) présents dans ses deux carottes analysées. Il ressort de son étude que les premiers IRD significatifs de la marge SE [sud-est] groenlandaise sont enregistrés à la fin du Miocène (les plus anciens IRD sont datés à 6.6 Ma [milliard d'années]). 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9bris%20de%20d%C3%A9lestage
