Record #88039:

Proglacial lakes and the southern margin of the Laurentide ice sheet / James T. Teller.

Title: Proglacial lakes and the southern margin of the Laurentide ice sheet / James T. Teller.
Author(s): Teller, James T.
Date: 1987.
Publisher: Boulder, CO: Geological Society of America
In: North America and adjacent oceans during the last deglaciation. (1987.),
Abstract: Published as part of the Decade of North American Geology (DNAG) Project. Describes main factors controlling formation of these lakes and explains how these factors, and processes within lakes, influenced sedimentation and history. Also speculates on how these lakes may have influenced ice flow and wastage of ice by calving, and considers importance of fine-grained lake sediments in providing substrate that permitted accumulation of subglacial water, which facilitated rapid advances of unstable ice lobes.
