The Quaternary stratigraphic sequence on the Labrador Shelf records evidence of several glacial cycles and major climatic/ environmental changes. This summary describes the major depositional episodes preserved on the Labrador Shelf and assigns ages and depositional interpretations to the last deglacial sequence. For a more detailed description of the seismic stratigraphy and sample analysis used to interpret this summary, the reader is referred to Josenhans et al. (1986).
