Postglacial climate in the St. Lawrence lowlands, southern Quebec: pollen and lake-level evidence
International audience Pollen and lake-level data are used to reconstruct past climate changes in the St. Lawrence lowlands, southern Quebec. Past lake-level changes are assessed from sedimentological, pollen and macrofossil records from a single shallow-water core from Lac Hertel, which lies in the...
