Wisconsinan Late‐glacial environmental change on the southeast Baffin shelf, southeast Baffin Island and northern Labrador
Abstract The importance of the Baffin‐Labrador region is explained in terms of the channelling through this area of the mass flux of meltwater from the Laurentide Ice Sheet and the probable effects of this on the thermohaline circulation of the North Atlantic. The chronology of glaciation and deglac...
