The researchers will use geological mapping and sampling, radiocarbon dating, and cosmogenic dating techniques to reconstruct sea level change and the extent and dynamics of glacial ice for the western Queen Elizabeth Islands during the Ice Age. This reconstruction will improve researchers’ knowledge of the glacial and climatic histories of this region.
The researchers will be mapping and surve...

1990 Summary:
The effects of glaciation on the arctic landscape remain uncertain and much more mapping and field studies remain to be done. Although it is commonly assumed that global warming will lead to the melting of glaciers, this view ignores the more important role that snowfall plays in the growth of glaciers (i.e., warmer climate leads to increased snowfall and a growth in glaciers). This study will e...
