Journal ArticleDOI

The Last Glacial Maximum.

TL;DR: The responses of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres differed significantly, which reveals how the evolution of specific ice sheets affected sea level and provides insight into how insolation controlled the deglaciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Forcing of the cold event of 8,200 years ago by catastrophic drainage of Laurentide lakes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that this cooling event was forced by a massive outflow of fresh water from the Hudson Strait, based on the estimates of the marine 14C reservoir for Hudson Bay which, in combination with other regional data, indicate that the glacial lakes Agassiz and Ojibway (originally dammed by a remnant of the Laurentide ice sheet) drained catastrophically ∼8,470 calendar years ago; this would have released >1014 m3 of freshwater into the Labrador Sea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Late Wisconsinan and Holocene History of the Laurentide Ice Sheet

TL;DR: The history of advance, retreat, and readvances of the Laurentide Ice Sheet along with associated changes in proglacial drainage and relative sea level oscillations for Late Wisconsinan and Holocene times is described in this paper.
Book ChapterDOI

An outline of North American deglaciation with emphasis on central and northern Canada

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present revised maps of North American deglaciation at 500-year and finer resolution, which represent an updating of a series prepared nearly two decades ago for the INQUA 1987 Congress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Holocene thermal maximum in the western Arctic (0-180°W)

TL;DR: In this paper, a spatio-temporal pattern of peak Holocene warmth (Holocene thermal maximum, HTM) is traced over 140 sites across the Western Hemisphere of the Arctic (0−180°W; north of ∼60°N).
