Freshwater shelled invertebrate indicators of paleoclimate in northwestern Canada during late glacial times
Paleoclimatic interpretations based on shelled invertebrates from four sites in the northwest corner of the Northwest Territories, Canada, during the time interval 14 410–6820 years BP, indicate that the mean annual temperature was about 8.2–11.6 °C higher than at present, and that the annual precip...
