Bulk mineralogy, elemental geochemistry, and magnetic properties of Holocene sediments in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence
Physical properties, grain size, bulk mineralogy, elemental geochemistry, and magnetic parameters of three sediment piston cores recovered in the Laurentian Channel from its head to its mouth were investigated to reconstruct changes in detrital sediment provenance and transport related to climate va...

Physical properties, grain size, bulk mineralogy, elemental geochemistry, and magnetic parameters of three sediment piston cores recovered in the Laurentian Channel from its head to its mouth were investigated to reconstruct changes in detrital sediment provenance and transport related to climate variability since the last deglaciation. The comparison of the detrital proxies indicates the succession of two sedimentary regimes in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence (EGSL) during the Holocene, which are associated with the melting history of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) and relative sea-level changes. During the early Holocene (10-8.5 ka cal BP), high sedimentation rates together with mineralogical, geochemical, and magnetic signatures indicate that sedimentation in the EGSL was mainly controlled by meltwater discharges from the local retreat of the southeastern margin of the LIS on the Canadian Shield. At this time, sediment-laden meltwater plumes caused the accumulation of fine-grained sediments in the ice-distal zones. Since the mid-Holocene, postglacial movements of the continental crust, related to the withdrawal of the LIS (~6 ka cal BP), have triggered significant variations in relative sea level (RSL) in the EGSL.
