The full policy for eScholarship may be accessed here: https://www.mcgill.ca/libraries/research-services/escholarship/policy ... : During the melting of a major ice-cap such as that which covered Central Quebec-Labrador until relatively recent times, there must inevitably be an enormous and rapid release of meltwaters. Evidence of this is left in the form of abandoned channels cut in both drift and bedrock, and assorted fluvioglacial deposits. By careful study of these features it is possible to deduce much as to the nature of the melting ice-mass which nourished the meltwater streams. [...] ...
