The researchers aim to understand and reconstruct the extent and dynamics of past glaciers, past climates and ongoing sea level change, including submergence, on Banks and Prince Patrick Islands, through geological mapping and the dating of sea shells, sediment and boulders.
High latitude areas such as the Canadian High Arctic provide diverse records of past global changes and they are generall...

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...

Summary:
A study of the glacial history of the area and observations of the extent to which the land, which was covered with ice in the last period of glaciation, has risen....
