Quaternary Geology and Climate Change
Following the glacial maximum (ca 21,500 yr B.P.) a global warming trend began and the Laurentide Ice Sheet commenced its retreat from the Great Lakes Basin and the St. Lawrence Lowlands. However, it was not until after 11,500 that deglaciation reached the Ottawa area. The pro-glacial lake that exis...
