MARC recordGlaciated landscapes along Smith Sound, Ellesmere Island, Canada and Greenland / Weston Blake, Jr.
| Title: | Glaciated landscapes along Smith Sound, Ellesmere Island, Canada and Greenland / Weston Blake, Jr. |
| Author(s): | Blake, Weston, |
| Date: | 1999. |
| In: | Annals of Glaciology. (1999.), Vol. 28 (1999) |
| Abstract: | Describes glacial features of Smith Sound, between Ellesmere Island and Greenland, and their formation. North-south oriented glacial features along outermost coasts of Smith Sound contrast with present-day eastward flow of outlet glaciers from Prince of Wales Icefield (Ellesmere Island) and westward flow from Greenland ice sheet. ¹⁴C dating shows glacier ice had receded from Ellesmere Island coast of Smith Sound by 9000 ¹⁴C yr BP, though heads of fiords to west and north-west were not ice-free until 45 ¹⁴C yr BP. |
| Notes: | Annals of Glaciology. Vol. 28 :40-46 (1999). Papers from the International Symposium on Glaciers and the Glaciated Landscape, 17--20 August 1998, Kiruna, Sweden, J. Kleman (Editor) |
