Sediments derived from the eastern Canadian Continental Margin preserved the whole records of deglacial meltwater discharges since the Wisconsinan when the entire margin was glaciated by the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Large volume of meltwater or iceberg release were created when the ice sheet began to l...
