Postglacial Uplift at Tanquary Fiord, Northern Ellesmere Island, Northwest Territories I
ABSTRACT. From the radiocarbon ages of samples of marine shells and peat, al postglacial upiift curve has been constructed for the upper part of Tanquary Fiord; in northern Ellesmere Island. The data show that the head of the fiord was clear of glacial ice by at least 6,500 years ago. From 6,500 to...
