Objective(s): to determine the style and chronology of past glacial activity; to determine sea level adjustments associated with former ice load changes and to integrate these with the regional data base; to determine the relative importance of glacial vs. non glacial processes in the evolution of this high arctic landscape.
Project Description: This research is an extension of previous fieldwork completed in 1988 and 1989. Mapping surficial deposits and reconstructing former ice limits and sea level adjustments, investigations of landforms and associated sediments, collection and dating of organic material pertaining to terrestrial and raised marine deposits, and mapping distributions of glacial erratics will be undertaken.
