MARC recordHolocene glacial history of College Fjord, south-central Alaska / J.A. Santos, and 3 others.
| Title: | Holocene glacial history of College Fjord, south-central Alaska / J.A. Santos, and 3 others. |
| Author(s): | Santos, J. A. |
| Date: | 2010. |
| In: | Polar Geography. (2010.), Vol. 33(3-4) (2010) |
| Abstract: | Establishes and calibrates glacial history of fjord system in Prince William Sound, using AMS radiocarbon ageing of new samples from bottom of peat bogs on moraines and other deglaciated surfaces, in combination with other radiocarbon ages, geomorphic evidence, tree-ring studies of trees growing on moraines and deglaciated surfaces, and historical observations. College Fjord was filled by outlet glacier during Last Glacial Maximum. Today, Harvard and Yale Glaciers calve into two upper arms of fjord. Discusses: retreat of Late Pleistocene Cordilleran Ice Sheet (early Holocene); Middle Holocene advance; and Late Holocene retreat and dynamics. Examines whether glacial changes were synchronous with Holocene climate fluctuations in North Pacific North America. |
