Glaciation of the northern British Columbia continental shelf: the geomorphic evidence derived from multibeam bathymetric data

We describe a revised understanding of the extent and dynamics of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet on the continental shelf of northern British Columbia, Canada. During the Local Last Glacial Maximum ice…

Extent and Timing of the Last Glacial Maximum in Southwestern Alaska

Abstract A glacier complex composed of confluent alpine glaciers, island ice caps, and piedmont lobes covered much of the Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak Island during the last glacial maximum (LGM).…

A glacial readvance during retreat of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, British Columbia central coast

Abstract Descriptions of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet retreat after the last glacial maximum have included short-lived readvances occurring during the Older and Younger Dryas stadial periods and into…

Deglaciation of the Cordillera of Western Canada at the end of the Pleistocene

Nearly all of what is now British Columbia and adjacent areas were covered by an ice sheet at the maximum of the Last Glaciation (MIS 2) about 18,000 years ago. By 11,000 years ago, the Cordilleran…

The Cordilleran Ice Sheet and the Glacial Geomorphology of Southern and Central British Colombia

This paper reviews the current state of knowledge about the Cordilleran Ice Sheet in southern and central British Columbia. Reconstructions of the ice sheet and the styles of ice expansion and…

Late-glacial and postglacial vegetation history at Bear Cove Bog, northeast Vancouver Island, British Columbia

Pollen and macrofossil analyses of two cores from a basin–blanket bog show that about 14 000 years ago Pinus contorta, Alnus, and Pteridium aquilinum formed pioneering vegetation typical of post-ice environments on the Pacific Northwest coast.

Vashon Drift: definition of the formation in the Georgia Depression, southwest British Columbia

Vashon Drift was deposited during the Fraser Glaciation (late Wisconsinan) at the time of maximum expansion of the southwestern part of the Cordilleran ice sheet when it filled the Georgia Depression…

Ice-Free Conditions on the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, at the Height of Late Wisconsin Glaciation

New radiocarbon dates and plant macrofossil data establish that parts of the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, were ice-free during and subsequent to the late Wisconsin glacial maximum on…

Pleistocene Chronology of the Puget Lowland and San Juan Islands, Washington

The Puget Lowland and San Juan Islands, lying in the Puget Trough between the Cascade Range and the Olympic Mountains, were in the path of Pleistocene ice sheets which flowed southward from Canada.…
